As the given equation has two different arbitrary constants so we can differentiate it twice with respect to x.

x = A cos nt + B sin nt

On differentiating with respect to t we get,

Again, differentiating with respect to x,

As x = A cos nt + B sin nt

Hence, is the required differential equation.
