Q. If α,β and γ are the zeros of the polynomial 2x^3 – 6x^2 – 4x + 30, then the value of (αβ + βγ + γα) is
a) 5
b) 2
c) -2
d) -30
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Vikram Kapoor answered
We have a 3 degree polynomial here of form
ax3 + bx2 + cx +d = 0
Polynomial p(x) = 2x3 – 6x2 – 4x + 30
The roots of this polynomial are α, β, γ
We have formula for products of zeroes taking 2 at a time = αβ + βγ + αγ = c/a
αβ + βγ + αγ = -4/2 = -2

I _____________________ anyone interesting since I moved into this apartment.
  • a)
    haven’t meet
  • b)
    will not meet
  • c)
    haven't met
  • d)
    will not be meeting
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Answer:

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we need to identify the correct verb tense to use in the given sentence. The sentence is in the present perfect tense, which is used to talk about an action that started in the past and is still continuing in the present. In this case, the action is meeting someone interesting.
Now let's analyze the options:
- A: haven’t meet: This option is incorrect because it uses the present tense form "meet" instead of the past participle form "met" that should be used with "have" in the present perfect tense.
- B: will not meet: This option is incorrect because it uses the future tense "will not meet" instead of the present perfect tense that is required in the sentence.
- C: haven't met: This option is correct. It uses the present perfect tense with the correct form "haven't met" (have + past participle) to indicate that the speaker has not met anyone interesting since moving into the apartment.
- D: will not be meeting: This option is incorrect because it uses the future continuous tense "will not be meeting" instead of the present perfect tense that is needed in the sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is C: haven't met.

Sperm transfer in males can be prevented by blocking the:
  • a)
    Urethra
  • b)
    Vas deferens
  • c)
    Prostate gland
  • d)
    Seminal vesicles
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rohan Kapoor answered
Sperm are made in the testes, and stored in a tightly coiled tube called the epididymis, inside the testicles. When a man ejaculates, smooth muscle propels the sperm out of the epididymis, through a tube called the vas deferens, into the urethra and out of the body. Receptors on the muscles receive hormonal signals that instruct the muscles to contract, sending the sperm on its way.

Previous attempts to block these receptors, known as α1A-adrenoceptors and P2X1-purinoceptors, had decreased male fertility, but not entirely — male mice with blocked receptors could still father offspring up to 50 percent of the time.
