discriminant is greater than ' 0 ' or is positive, then the roots of a quadratic
equation will be real.
19.(d) Let 1,2 be the roots of equations (i), 2 and 4 be the roots of
equation (ii).
∴ equations are x 2−3 x+ 2=0 and x 2−6 x +8=0.
Comparing with x 2+ bx+ c=0 and x 2+ qx+ r=0 , we get b=−3 , c=2 , q=−6 and
r =8.
Putting these values in the options, we find that option (d) is satisfied.
20.(d) The given equation is x 2/ 3 + x1 /3 −2=0

Put x 1/ 3= y , then y 2 + y−2=0
⇒( y−1)( y +2)=0 ⇒ y =1 or y=−2
⇒ x =1 or x =−2
1 /3 1/ 3
∴ x=¿ or x=¿
Hence, the real roots of the given equations are 1 ,−8 .
21.(b) x (x +1)+1=(x−2)(x−5)
2 2
⇒ x + x+ 1=x −7 x +10
⇒ 8 x−9=0 , which is not a quadratic equation.

Now, 2=b−4 ; 1=c−2 b+4 etc.

26. (c) Given,
f (x)=x + ax+2 and g(x )=x + 2 x +a

2 2
Let α be the common root of f (x)=0 and g(x )=0.
∴ α 2 + aα +2=0
and α 2+ 2 α +a=0
Using elimination method,

2
α + aα =−2
and α 2+ 2 α=−a

Substitute value of α in (i) eqn., we get

∴−(a+ 2)=1 ⇒ a+2=−1 ⇒ a=−3
Now f (x)+ g(x )=0
∴ x2 −3 x +2+ x 2 +2 x −3=0 ⇒ 2 x 2−x−1=0

So, sum of roots ¿ 2
27.(d) x 2−6 x−2=0

α and β are the roots of the above equation.
So, α 2−2=6 α
Similarly, β 2−2=6 β
We can see that, α + β=6 and αβ =−2
Given: a n=α n−β n

D ≠ 0; ∴ ∀ n ∈ I
⇒ Roots of the quadratic equation are distinct.
Quadratic Equations
For real roots D ≥ 0

So, n ∈{1 ,2 , 3 , 4 , … , 12 }
So, x have only finite value.

n
Product of roots ¿ n =1
⇒ Products of root is necessarily integer.
Hence, option (b) is correct.

A Ferris wheel (or a big wheel in the United Kingdom) is an amusement ride
consisting of a rotating upright wheel with multiple passenger-carrying
components (commonly referred to as passenger cars, cabins, tubs,
capsules, gondolas, or pods) attached to the rim in such a way that as the
wheel turns, they are kept upright, usually by gravity.
After taking a ride in Ferris wheel, Aarti came out from the crowd and was
observing her friends who were enjoying the ride. She was curious about
the different angles and measures that the wheel will form. She forms the
figure as given below.
