Assertion & Reason Test: Polynomials - Question 1

Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:

Assertion: x2 +7x+12 has no real zeroes.
Reason: A quadratic polynomial can have at the most two zeroes.

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Polynomials - Question 1

The assertion is false because the quadratic equation x+ 7x + 12 can be factored as (x + 3)(x + 4), which means it has two real zeros (-3 and -4). The reason is true because a quadratic polynomial indeed can have at most two zeros, but it doesn't directly relate to the assertion being true or false.

Assertion & Reason Test: Polynomials - Question 2

Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:

Assertion: If the sum of the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial x2-2kx+8 is 2 then value of k is 1.
Reason: Sum of zeroes of a quadratic polynomial ax2+bx+c is -b/a

Assertion & Reason Test: Polynomials - Question 3

Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:

Assertion: P(x) = 4x3-x2+5x4+3x-2 is a polynomial of degree 3.
Reason: The highest power of x in the polynomial P(x) is the degree of the polynomial.

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Polynomials - Question 3

The assertion is false because the degree of the polynomial is determined by the highest power of x, which is 4 in this case, making it a polynomial of degree 4. The reason is true because the highest power of x indeed determines the degree of a polynomial, but it incorrectly describes the polynomial in the assertion.

Assertion & Reason Test: Polynomials - Question 4

Direction: In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:

Assertion : (2 - √3) is one zero of the quadratic polynomial then other zero will be (2 + √3).

Reason : Irrational zeros (roots) always occurs in pairs.

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Polynomials - Question 4
As irrational roots/zeros always occurs in pairs therefore, when one zero is (2 - √3) then other will be (2 + √3). So, both A and R are correct and R explains A.
Assertion & Reason Test: Polynomials - Question 5

Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:

Assertion: x2+4x+5 has two real zeroes.
Reason: A quadratic polynomial can have at the most two zeroes.

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Polynomials - Question 5

The assertion is false because x2 +4x+5 has no real zeroes (its discriminant, b 2 −4ac, is negative). However, it has two complex zeroes. The reason is true, as a quadratic polynomial can have at most two zeroes (real or complex).

Assertion & Reason Test: Polynomials - Question 6

Direction: In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:
Assertion : Zeroes of f(x) = x2 - 4x - 5 are 5, - 1
Reason : The polynomial whose zeroes are 2 + √3, 2 - √3 is x2 - 4x + 7.

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Polynomials - Question 6

Zeroes of f(x) = x2 − 4x − 5 are obtained by solving:
x2 − 4x − 5 = 0, which implies 
x2 − 5x + x − 5 = 0 or, x(x − 5) + 1(x − 5) = 0 
which means x = 5 or x = −1 
Thus the assertion is correct. 
However, the reason is incorrect. 
The numbers given are not the zeroes  of x2 − 4x + 7

Assertion & Reason Test: Polynomials - Question 7

Direction: In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:

Assertion : If one zero of poly-nominal p(x) = (k2 + 4)x2 + 13x + 4k is reciprocal of other, then k = 2.

Reason : If (x – a) is a factor of p(x), then p(a) = 0 i.e. a is a zero of p(x).

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Polynomials - Question 7
Let α, 1/α be the zeroes of p(x) then we have

Product of Zeroes

⇒ k2 – 4k + 4 = 0

⇒ (k – 2)2 = 0 ⇒ k = 2

Assertion & Reason Test: Polynomials - Question 8

Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:

Assertion: If the product of the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial x2+3x+5k is -10 then value of k is -2.
Reason: Sum of zeroes of a quadratic polynomial ax2+bx+c is -b/a

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Polynomials - Question 8

Both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason provided is related to the sum of the zeroes, not their product. The correct explanation involves the formula for the product of the zeroes of a quadratic polynomial, c/a, which would lead to 5k/−10, hence determining the value of k.

Assertion & Reason Test: Polynomials - Question 9

Direction: In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:

Assertion : x2 + 4x + 5 has two real zeroes.

Reason : A quadratic polynomial can have at the most two zeroes.

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Polynomials - Question 9

Assertion: Consider the given polynomial x2 + 4x + 5
as its discriminant is negative b2 -4ac = 16 - 20 = -4 so it dont have real roots ,
∴ x2 + 4x + 5 has no zeroes.
∴ Assertion is false.
Reason: Clearly, Reason is true.
Since Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.

Assertion & Reason Test: Polynomials - Question 10

Assertion (A): The zeroes of the polynomial  p(x) = (x - 1)(x - 2)(x - 3)  are 1, 2, and 3.
Reason (R): The zeroes of a polynomial are the x-coordinates of the points where the graph of the polynomial intersects or touches the x-axis or the points on the graph where  p(x) = 0 

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Polynomials - Question 10

Option A: Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation for A.

The polynomial p(x) = (x - 1)(x - 2)(x - 3) \) is factored into three linear factors: (x - 1) , (x - 2) , and  (x - 3) .

The zeroes of a polynomial are the values of  x  for which p(x) = 0. Setting each factor equal to zero gives the zeroes as x = 1 , x = 2 , and x = 3 , which confirms Assertion (A) as correct.

The reason (R) correctly explains the concept that the zeroes of a polynomial are the x-coordinates where the polynomial graph intersects or touches the x-axis, or where p(x) = 0.

Therefore, both the assertion and reason are correct, and the reason provides the correct explanation for the assertion.
