Putting x + 3 = 0  x = −3 , Using it in (1), we get

Equating the coefficients of x 2 and x in (2), we obtain

0 = A+C  A = −C  A=2

Question 5 Find four members in A.P. Whose sum is 32 and the sums of whose squares is 276
Solution.
Consider four numbers a − 3d , a − d , a + d , a + 3d are in A.P.
Then according to first condition
a − 3d + a − d + a + d + a + 3d = 32  4a = 32  a = 8
According to second condition
2 2 2 2
( a − 3d ) + ( a − d ) + ( a + d ) + ( a + 3d ) = 32
a 2 − 6ad + 9d 2 + a 2 − 2ad + d 2 + a 2 + 2ad + d 2 + a 2 + 6ad + 9d 2 = 276
4a 2 + 20d 2 = 276
Put a = 8 in above
2
4 ( 8 ) + 20d 2 = 276  256 + 20d 2 = 276
 20d 2 = 276 − 256  20d 2 = 20  d 2 = 1  d = ±1 .
When a = 8, d = 1
a − 3d = 8 − 3 (1) = 8 − 3 = 5
a − d = 8 −1 = 7
a + d = 8 +1 = 9
a + 3d = 8 + 3 (1) = 8 + 3 = 11
When a = 8, d = −1
a − 3d = 8 − 3 ( −1) = 8 + 3 = 11
a − d = 8 +1 = 9
a + d = 8 + ( −1) = 8 − 1 = 7
a + 3d = 8 + 3 ( −1) = 8 − 3 = 5
Hence 5,7,9,11 or 11,9, 7,5 are required numbers.

Question 7 If α , β , γ are the angles of ∆ABC , then prove tan α + tan β + tan γ = an α tan β tan γ .
Solution
As α , β , γ are the angles of ∆ABC ,
∴ α + β + γ =180  α + β = 180 − γ
(
∴ tan (α + β ) = tan 180 − γ )
tan α + tan β
 = − tan γ
1 − tan α tan β
 tan α + tan β = − tan γ + tan α tan β tan γ
 tan α + tan β + tan γ = tan α tan β tan γ Proved.
