 HINTS AND SOLUTIONS

1. B

i.e.,  = = −3
−2

3. A
Sol. ,  are the zeroes of a polynomial.
Sum of zeroes, S =  +  = 10, product of zeroes, P =  = 6
The required polynomial g(x) is given by
g(x) = k(x2 – Sx + P)
g(x) = k(x2 – 10x + 6)
where k is any non zero real number.

4. A
Sol. D = b2 – 4ac  D = (2k)2 – 4 × 3 × 27 = 4k2 – 324
For real and equal roots, D = 0  4k2 – 324 = 0  4k2 = 324
324
 k2 =  k 2 = 81 k9

5. C
Sol. If terms are in A.P., then 13 – (2p + 1) = (5p – 3) – 13
 13 – 2p – 1 = 5p – 3 – 13  28 = 7p  p = 4

10.  +  = 6,  = a
Now 3 + 2 = 20
  + 2 + 2 = 20   + 2( + ) = 20
  + 2 × 6 = 20   = 20 – 12 = 8
  = −2
Now  = a
 8 × (−2) = a  −16

12. −4 is a root of quadratic equation x2 + px – 4 = 0

 (−4)2 + p(−4) – 4 = 0  16 – 4p – 4 = 0  p = 3
Putting p = 3 in equation x2 + px + k = 0, we get x2 + 3x + k = 0
Equation has equal roots D = 0  b2 – 4ac = 0

13. Let 1st term = a, common difference = d

a10 = a + 9d, a24 = a + 23d
According to the question, a24 = 2 × a10
 a + 23d = 2(a + 9d)  a + 23d = 2a + 18d  a = 5d
Now, a16 = a + 15d = 5d + 15d = 20d
a36 = a + 35d = 5d + 35d = 40d
From (i) and (ii), we get

 = 7  42 = 7k  k = 6

Putting k = 6 in polynomial
p(x) = (k – 4)x2 + (k + 1)x + 5
we get p(x) = (6 – 4)x2 + (6 + 1)x + 5
 p(x) = 2x2 + 7x + 5
2
For zeroes of p(x), 2x + 7x + 5 = 0
2x2 + 5x + 2x + 5 = 0
 x(2x + 5) + 1(2x + 5) = 0
