DIRECTION : In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) ...
Assertion and Reasoning
Assertion: 4x2 -12x +9 = 0 has repeated roots.
Reason: The quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 have repeated roots if discriminant D > 0.
Explanation
The given quadratic equation is 4x2 -12x +9 = 0.
Here, a = 4, b = -12, and c = 9.
Now, we know that the discriminant of a quadratic equation is given by b2 - 4ac.
Hence, the discriminant of the given equation is (-12)2 - 4(4)(9) = 144 - 144 = 0.
Since the discriminant is equal to zero, the quadratic equation has repeated roots.
Hence, the assertion is true.
However, the reasoning is not correct as the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 has repeated roots if the discriminant D = b2 - 4ac is equal to zero and not greater than zero.
Therefore, the correct answer is option (C) - Assertion (A) is true, but Reasoning (R) is false.
DIRECTION : In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) ...
The roots of the given equation are 3/2, 3/2.
4x²-12x+9=0
4x²-6x-6x+9=0
2x(2x-3)-3(2x-3)=0
(2x-3)(2x-3)=0
x=3/2,3/2.
Hence, given equation has repeated roots so assertion is true.
But, for D>0, roots are real and distinct and these are equal roots, so reason is false.
Hence, option c is the right answer.
