I. x2 + 3x + 2x + 6 = 0
=> (x + 3)(x + 2) = 0 => x = -3 or -2
II. y2 + 7y + 2y + 14 = 0
=> (y + 7)(y + 2) = 0 => y = -7 or -2
No relationship can be established between x and y.
=> (x + 3)(x + 2) = 0 => x = -3 or -2
II. y2 + 7y + 2y + 14 = 0
=> (y + 7)(y + 2) = 0 => y = -7 or -2
No relationship can be established between x and y.

Manoj Ghosh answered |
Rules for factorising:
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
m x n = c
m + n = b
∴(x+m)(x+n)=0
In this case: 5 x −3 = −15 = c
5 + −3 = 2 = b
∴ x^2 + 2x −15 = 0 → (x+5)(x−3) = 0
Either of the brackets must be equal to 0.
Assuming (x+5) = 0:
x = −5
Assuming (x-3) = 0:
x= 3

Orion Classes answered |
Given:
Initial ratio = 5 ∶ 6
Final ratio should be less than 17 ∶ 22
Calculation:
Let the least whole number that is needed to be subtracted be a.
According to the question,
(5 - a)/(6 - a) < 17/22
⇒ 5 × 22 - 22a < 17 × 6 - 17a
⇒ 110 - 22a < 102 - 17a
⇒ 110 - 102 < - 17a + 22a
⇒ 8 < 5a
⇒ 8/5 = 1.6 < a
∴ The least whole number must be 2.

Given Inequalities:
- x + 2y ≤ 3
- x > 0
- y > 0
Solution:
Step 1: Find the possible values of x and y
- From the inequality x + 2y ≤ 3, we can rearrange it to get x ≤ 3 - 2y.
- Since x > 0, we have 0 < x="" ≤="" 3="" -="" />
- Since y > 0, we can also say that y > 0.
Step 2: Determine the possible solutions
- Now, we need to find the values of x and y that satisfy the given conditions.
- Let's start by trying out the options:
- Option 'A': x = -1, y = 2
- Option 'B': x = 2, y = 1
- Option 'C': x = 1, y = 1
- Option 'D': x = 0, y = 0
- Checking each option:
- Option 'A': x = -1, y = 2
- x is not greater than 0, so this option is invalid.
- Option 'B': x = 2, y = 1
- x is greater than 0, but the inequality x + 2y ≤ 3 is not satisfied.
- Option 'C': x = 1, y = 1
- Both x and y are greater than 0, and x + 2y ≤ 3 is satisfied.
- Therefore, this option is a valid solution.
- Option 'D': x = 0, y = 0
- x is not greater than 0, so this option is invalid.
Conclusion:
- The correct solution is x = 1, y = 1, as it satisfies all the given conditions and the inequality.

Orion Classes answered |
- Since it has highest power of x ‘1’ and has inequality sign so, it is called linear inequality.
- It is not numerical inequality as it does not have numbers on both sides of inequality.
- It does not have two inequality signs so it is not double inequality.

Simplifying the inequality, we have:
x ≤ 50
Therefore, the inequation is:
x ≤ 50
x - 40 ≤ 10
Simplifying the inequality, we have:
x ≤ 50
Therefore, the inequation is:
x ≤ 50

Yash Patel answered |
Explanation:
The quadratic equation whose roots are reciprocal of 2x2 + 5x + 3 = 0 can be obtained by replacing x by 1/x.
Hence, 2(1/x)2 + 5(1/x) + 3 = 0
=> 3x2 + 5x + 2 = 0
Hence, 2(1/x)2 + 5(1/x) + 3 = 0
=> 3x2 + 5x + 2 = 0

Pallabi Deshpande answered |
It should be p.
Let's try plugging in some values for p.
First let's take p=0.1 -> 0.1+1/0.1 = 0.1+10/1 = 10.1
Now let's take p=1 -> 1+1/1 = 2 (smaller Wink )
Now let's take p=2 -> 2+2/1 = 4 (bigger again)
Therefore we know that the values will decrease if you plug in a number between ]0;1[, that the value will be minimum at 1 and later increase again.

Nikita Singh answered |
Explanation:
Let the price of each note book be Rs.x.
Let the number of note books which can be brought for Rs.300 each at a price of Rs.x be y.
Hence xy = 300
=> y = 300/x
(x + 5)(y - 10) = 300 => xy + 5y - 10x - 50 = xy
=>5(300/x) - 10x - 50 = 0 => -150 + x2 + 5x = 0
multiplying both sides by -1/10x
=> x2 + 15x - 10x - 150 = 0
=> x(x + 15) - 10(x + 15) = 0
=> x = 10 or -15
As x>0, x = 10.
Let the number of note books which can be brought for Rs.300 each at a price of Rs.x be y.
Hence xy = 300
=> y = 300/x
(x + 5)(y - 10) = 300 => xy + 5y - 10x - 50 = xy
=>5(300/x) - 10x - 50 = 0 => -150 + x2 + 5x = 0
multiplying both sides by -1/10x
=> x2 + 15x - 10x - 150 = 0
=> x(x + 15) - 10(x + 15) = 0
=> x = 10 or -15
As x>0, x = 10.

Aarav Sharma answered |
Solution:
The given quadratic equation is 2x² - (c³ - 8c - 1)x - c² + 4c = 0.
Let α and β be the roots of the given quadratic equation.
We know that the sum and product of the roots of a quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 are given by -b/a and c/a respectively.
∴ α + β = (c³ - 8c - 1)/2 and αβ = (c² - 4c)/2
Given that the roots of the equation are opposite in signs.
∴ α and β have opposite signs, i.e., one is positive and the other is negative.
Case 1: α > 0 and β < />
We have αβ < />
i.e., (c² - 4c)/2 < />
⇒ c(c - 4) < />
⇒ c ∈ (0, 4)
Case 2: α < 0="" and="" β="" /> 0
We have αβ < />
i.e., (c² - 4c)/2 < />
⇒ c(c - 4) > 0
⇒ c ∈ (-∞, 0) ∪ (4, ∞)
Therefore, the value of c for which the roots of the equation would be opposite in signs is (0, 4).
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
The given quadratic equation is 2x² - (c³ - 8c - 1)x - c² + 4c = 0.
Let α and β be the roots of the given quadratic equation.
We know that the sum and product of the roots of a quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 are given by -b/a and c/a respectively.
∴ α + β = (c³ - 8c - 1)/2 and αβ = (c² - 4c)/2
Given that the roots of the equation are opposite in signs.
∴ α and β have opposite signs, i.e., one is positive and the other is negative.
Case 1: α > 0 and β < />
We have αβ < />
i.e., (c² - 4c)/2 < />
⇒ c(c - 4) < />
⇒ c ∈ (0, 4)
Case 2: α < 0="" and="" β="" /> 0
We have αβ < />
i.e., (c² - 4c)/2 < />
⇒ c(c - 4) > 0
⇒ c ∈ (-∞, 0) ∪ (4, ∞)
Therefore, the value of c for which the roots of the equation would be opposite in signs is (0, 4).
Hence, option A is the correct answer.

The given quadratic equation is x² - 3x + k = 0. We need to determine the values of k for which the roots of this equation lie within the interval (0,1).
Condition for Roots in Interval (0,1)
For the roots of a quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 to lie in an interval (a, b), the following conditions must be satisfied:
1. Sum of Roots: The sum of the roots (r1 + r2) = -b/a should be greater than 0 and less than 2.
2. Product of Roots: The product of the roots (r1 * r2) = c/a should be greater than 0.
In our case:
- Sum of Roots: r1 + r2 = 3
- Product of Roots: r1 * r2 = k
Analyzing the Conditions
1. Sum of Roots: Since 3 is not in the interval (0, 2), the first condition fails. This implies that the roots cannot both be positive and less than 1.
2. Product of Roots: For the product k to be positive, k must be greater than 0. However, this doesn’t help as the sum condition already invalidates the possibility of the roots lying in (0,1).
Conclusion
Given that the sum of the roots is fixed at 3, which does not allow both roots to lie within (0,1), we conclude that:
- There are no values of k that satisfy the conditions for the roots to lie in the interval (0,1).
Thus, the correct answer is option B: no value.
The given quadratic equation is x² - 3x + k = 0. We need to determine the values of k for which the roots of this equation lie within the interval (0,1).

let α, β are roots of x2 – kx + 8 = 0
∴ α + β = -b/a = −(−k)/1 = k & α. β = c/a = 8/1 = 8
(α – β)2 = (α + β)2 – 4αβ = 42
⇒ k2 – 4 × 8 = 16
or k2 = 48 ⇒ k = ±√16×3 ⇒ k = ±4√3
(d) is correct.
∴ α + β = -b/a = −(−k)/1 = k & α. β = c/a = 8/1 = 8
(α – β)2 = (α + β)2 – 4αβ = 42
⇒ k2 – 4 × 8 = 16
or k2 = 48 ⇒ k = ±√16×3 ⇒ k = ±4√3

Given:
The sum of reciprocals of Sharma's age 3 years ago and 5 years from now is 1/3.
To find:
Sharma's present age.
Solution:
Let's assume Sharma's present age is x years.
Reciprocals:
The reciprocal of a number is obtained by dividing 1 by the number.
So, the reciprocal of Sharma's age 3 years ago would be 1/(x-3) and the reciprocal of Sharma's age 5 years from now would be 1/(x+5).
Equation:
According to the given information, the sum of these reciprocals is equal to 1/3:
1/(x-3) + 1/(x+5) = 1/3
Multiplying through by the common denominator:
3[(x+5) + (x-3)] = (x-3)(x+5)
Simplifying the equation:
3(2x + 2) = x^2 + 2x - 15
6x + 6 = x^2 + 2x - 15
Rearranging the terms:
x^2 - 4x - 21 = 0
Factoring the quadratic equation:
(x - 7)(x + 3) = 0
Setting each factor equal to zero:
x - 7 = 0 or x + 3 = 0
Solving for x:
x = 7 or x = -3
Conclusion:
Since age cannot be negative, Sharma's present age is 7 years (Option A).

Ishani Rane answered |
Let the original speed of the train be x km/h.
Time taken to cover a distance of 360 km = 360/x hours.
New speed of the train = (x+5) km/h.
Time taken to cover a distance of 360 km at new speed = 360/x+5 hours.
Since, the train takes 1 hour less time,
∴ 360/x - 360/ x+5 = 1
⇒360 (x+5-x)/x(x+5) = 1
⇒360 (5) = x^2 + 5x
⇒1800 = x^2 + 5x
⇒x^2 + 5x - 1800 = 0
⇒x^2 + 45x - 40x - 1800 = 0
⇒x (x+45) - 40( x +45) = 0
⇒(x+45) (x-40) = 0
⇒x = (-45), 40
But since speed cannot be in negative.
∴ x = 40 km/hr.
Hence, the original speed of the train is 40 km/h.

Let the two consecutive positive integers be x and x + 1
x2 + (x + 1)2 - x(x + 1) = 91
x2 + x - 90 = 0
(x + 10)(x - 9) = 0 => x = -10 or 9.
As x is positive x = 9
Hence the two consecutive positive integers are 9 and 10.

Conditions for No Real Roots
To determine the values of k, we analyze the two given equations:
1. Equation 1: 2x² + kx + 5 = 0
This equation has no real roots if the discriminant (D) is less than zero.
The discriminant is given by D = b² - 4ac.
For our equation, a = 2, b = k, and c = 5.
Therefore, the condition is:
k² - 4(2)(5) < 0="" />
k² - 40 < 0="" />
k² < 40="" />
This implies that -√40 < k="" />< √40,="" which="" simplifies="" to="" approximately="" -6.32="" />< k="" />< 6.32.="" />
Hence, k can take integer values: -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (total of 13 values).
Conditions for Two Distinct Real Roots
2. Equation 2: x² + (k + 5)x + 1 = 0
This equation has two distinct real roots if its discriminant is greater than zero.
For our equation, a = 1, b = k + 5, and c = 1.
Therefore, the condition is:
(k + 5)² - 4(1)(1) > 0
(k + 5)² - 4 > 0
(k + 5)² > 4
This results in two cases:
k + 5 > 2 or k + 5 < -2,="" leading="" to="" k="" /> -3 or k < -7.="" />
Thus, the valid ranges for k become: k < -7="" or="" k="" /> -3.
Finding the Intersection
Now, we need to find the integer values of k that satisfy both conditions:
- From Condition 1: -6 < k="" />< />
- From Condition 2: k < -7="" or="" k="" /> -3
The overlapping valid integer values are: -6, -5, -4, -3, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
This gives us a total of 9 valid integers.

The number of possible values of k is 9. Thus, the correct answer is option 'A'.

Aarav Sharma answered |
To solve this problem, we can start by setting up equations based on the given information. Let's assume Rohan's present age is x years.
Rohan's mother is 26 years older than him, so her present age would be x + 26 years.
According to the question, the product of their ages 3 years from now will be 360.
So, in 3 years, Rohan's age will be x + 3 years and his mother's age will be (x + 26) + 3 years.
Setting up the equation, we have:
(x + 3)(x + 26 + 3) = 360
Expanding the equation, we get:
(x + 3)(x + 29) = 360
Multiplying the binomials, we have:
x^2 + 32x + 87 = 360
Rearranging the equation, we get:
x^2 + 32x - 273 = 0
To solve this quadratic equation, we can either factorize it or use the quadratic formula.
Factoring the equation, we have:
(x + 39)(x - 7) = 0
This gives us two possible solutions: x = -39 and x = 7.
Since age cannot be negative, we discard -39 as a valid solution. Therefore, Rohan's present age is 7 years (Option D).
So, the correct answer is option D - 7 years.

Aarav Sharma answered |
Explanation:
To find the relation between a, b, and c when the roots of the given equation are equal, let's analyze the equation step by step.
Given equation: (a^2 - b^2)x^2 - 2b(a - c)x + (b^2 - c^2) = 0
Step 1:
When the roots of a quadratic equation are equal, the discriminant of the equation is equal to zero.
Step 2:
The discriminant of a quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is given by the expression b^2 - 4ac.
Step 3:
In the given equation, the discriminant is: (-2b(a - c))^2 - 4(a^2 - b^2)(b^2 - c^2)
Step 4:
To simplify the expression, let's expand the terms and then simplify:
(-2b(a - c))^2 - 4(a^2 - b^2)(b^2 - c^2)
= 4b^2(a - c)^2 - 4(a^2 - b^2)(b^2 - c^2)
= 4b^2(a^2 - 2ac + c^2) - 4(a^2 - b^2)(b^2 - c^2)
= 4b^2a^2 - 8b^2ac + 4b^2c^2 - 4a^2b^2 + 8ac^2 - 4b^2c^2
= 4b^2a^2 - 4a^2b^2 + 8ac^2 - 8b^2ac + 4b^2c^2 - 4b^2c^2
= 4(a^2b^2 - a^2b^2 + 2ac^2 - 2b^2ac)
= 4(2ac^2 - 2b^2ac)
= 8ac^2 - 8ab^2c
Step 5:
Setting the discriminant equal to zero, we have:
8ac^2 - 8ab^2c = 0
Step 6:
Factor out 8ac from the equation:
8ac(c - b^2) = 0
Step 7:
For the equation to be true, either 8ac = 0 or (c - b^2) = 0.
Step 8:
If 8ac = 0, it implies either a = 0 or c = 0.
Step 9:
If (c - b^2) = 0, it implies c = b^2.
Conclusion:
From the above analysis, we can conclude that a, b, and c are in a geometric progression (GP) when the roots of the given equation are equal. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' (GP).
To find the relation between a, b, and c when the roots of the given equation are equal, let's analyze the equation step by step.
Given equation: (a^2 - b^2)x^2 - 2b(a - c)x + (b^2 - c^2) = 0
Step 1:
When the roots of a quadratic equation are equal, the discriminant of the equation is equal to zero.
Step 2:
The discriminant of a quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is given by the expression b^2 - 4ac.
Step 3:
In the given equation, the discriminant is: (-2b(a - c))^2 - 4(a^2 - b^2)(b^2 - c^2)
Step 4:
To simplify the expression, let's expand the terms and then simplify:
(-2b(a - c))^2 - 4(a^2 - b^2)(b^2 - c^2)
= 4b^2(a - c)^2 - 4(a^2 - b^2)(b^2 - c^2)
= 4b^2(a^2 - 2ac + c^2) - 4(a^2 - b^2)(b^2 - c^2)
= 4b^2a^2 - 8b^2ac + 4b^2c^2 - 4a^2b^2 + 8ac^2 - 4b^2c^2
= 4b^2a^2 - 4a^2b^2 + 8ac^2 - 8b^2ac + 4b^2c^2 - 4b^2c^2
= 4(a^2b^2 - a^2b^2 + 2ac^2 - 2b^2ac)
= 4(2ac^2 - 2b^2ac)
= 8ac^2 - 8ab^2c
Step 5:
Setting the discriminant equal to zero, we have:
8ac^2 - 8ab^2c = 0
Step 6:
Factor out 8ac from the equation:
8ac(c - b^2) = 0
Step 7:
For the equation to be true, either 8ac = 0 or (c - b^2) = 0.
Step 8:
If 8ac = 0, it implies either a = 0 or c = 0.
Step 9:
If (c - b^2) = 0, it implies c = b^2.
Conclusion:

Understanding the Equation
The roots of the quadratic equation x² + px + q = 0 can be derived using Vieta's formulas, which state that for a quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0, if r₁ and r₂ are the roots, then:
- r₁ + r₂ = -b/a
- r₁ * r₂ = c/a
In this case, we have:
- p + q = -p (from the coefficient of x)
- pq = q (from the constant term)
Setting Up the Equations
From Vieta's formulas, we can rewrite the relationships:
1. p + q = -p
2. pq = q
Now, let's simplify these equations.
Solving the First Equation
From the first equation:
- p + q = -p
- 2p + q = 0
- q = -2p
Solving the Second Equation
From the second equation:
- pq = q (since q ≠ 0, we can divide both sides by q)
- p = 1 (as long as q is not zero)
Finding the Values of p and q
Substituting p = 1 into q = -2p:
- q = -2(1) = -2
Thus, we find:
- p = 1
- q = -2
Conclusion
The correct values for p and q that satisfy the equation x² + px + q = 0, while ensuring p and q are non-zero, are:
- p = 1
- q = -2
Therefore, the correct answer is option D: p = 1, q = -2.

Manoj Ghosh answered |
a/b + b/a = (a2 + b2)/ab = (a2 + b2 + a + b)/ab
= [(a + b)2 - 2ab]/ab
a + b = -8/1 = -8
ab = 4/1 = 4
Hence a/b + b/a = [(-8)2 - 2(4)]/4 = 56/4 = 14.

Explanation:
Let the roots of the quadratic equation be x and 3x.
Sum of roots = -(-12) = 12
a + 3a = 4a = 12 => a = 3
Product of the roots = 3a2 = 3(3)2 = 27.
Sum of roots = -(-12) = 12
a + 3a = 4a = 12 => a = 3
Product of the roots = 3a2 = 3(3)2 = 27.
