Let     , where  and 2 are the roots.
ax bx cx d x x
 x4 + (a)x3 – (abc) x – 2abcd = 0
Let x1, x2 be other roots

 x1 + x2 = 1  (a  b  c  d )
2
Also
xi xj = 0
 (x1 + x2) ( + 2) + x1x2 + .2 = 0
 x1 = 1
1 1 1 1
 1 is one root of the equation    2

2. Answer (2)
x4 – 3x3 + 8x2 – 7x + 5 = 0
Let other roots are z1, z2, z3
sum of roots = (1 + 2i) + z1 + z2 + z3
= 1 + 2i + 1 – 2i + z2 + z3 = 3
z2 + z3 + 1 = 3 – 1 = 2
Re (z1 + z2 + z3) = 2

4. Answer (2)
Let x = ki where k R
So, ak2i2 + bki + c + i = 0
 (–ak2 + c) + (bk + 1)i = 0
So, c = ak2 and bk = –1

⎛ 1 ⎞
 c  a. ⎜ 2 ⎟

⎛ y  1⎞ ⎛ y  1⎞
then y is given by ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ 1 0
⎝ y  1⎠ ⎝ y  1⎠
 y3 + 7y2 – y + 1 = 0
Now, k + m = 7 – 1 = 6
6. Answer (4)
f(x) = x7 – 3x4 + 2x3 – k, k > 0
Number of sign change is 3
f(–x) = –x7 – 3x4 – 2x2 – k
Number of sign change = 0
Maximum number of sign change in f(x) and f(–x) = 3
At least there will be 4 imaginary roots.

9. Answer (1)
f(x) = 2x + 1
f(2x) = 4x + 1
f(4x) = 8x + 1
f(x), f(2x), f(4x) are in G.P.
 (4x + 1)2 = (2x + 1) (8x + 1)
16x2 + 1 + 8x = 16x2 + 10x + 1
 x=0

21. Answer (0)

No. of zeros will depend upon no. of 2s and no. of 5s

No. of 5s < No. of 2s

 No. of zeros will depend upon no. of 5s only.

⎣ ⎦ ⎣5 ⎦ ⎣5 ⎦

For k = 20 LHS = 4 5

k = 25 LHS = 5 + 1 = 6 5

For no. of value of k, 5 zeroes are possible.

25. Answer (1)
log(x – 3)(x2 – 3x – 4) = 2
x2 – 3x – 4 > 0
 (x – 4) (x + 1) > 0
 x < –1 or x > 4 ...(i)
Also, x–3 >0
x>3 ...(ii)
and x–3 1
x 4
From (i) and (ii) x > 4
For x > 4,
 x2 – 3x – 4 > (x – 3)2
 x2 – 3x – 4 = x2 – 6x + 9
