In the given equation, x 2 mx 24 0, the product of the roots 24.

The question states that one of the roots of this equation = 1.5.
If x1 and x2 are the roots of the given quadratic equation and let x1 = 1.5.

Therefore, x 2 16.

73. In the given quadratic equation x 2 bx c 0.
The sum of the roots p + q – b …(i)
And the product of the roots pq = c …(ii)
We have to formulate a quadratic equation whose roots are (pq + p + q) and (pq – p – q).
The sum of the two roots = pq + p + q + pq – p – q = 2pq
N
But from eqn. (ii), we know that pq = c
Therefore, the sum of the roots = 2c
The product of the roots = (pq + p + q) (pq – p – q) = (pq)2 – (p + q)2
A
From equation (i) and (ii), we know that pq = c and p + q = b
Therefore, the product of the roots = c2 – b2
M
We know the sum of the roots and the product of the roots.
Therefore, the quadratic equation is x2 – (sum of the roots) x + product of the roots = 0

Since the dimensions of the cuboid are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3. So, let the dimensions be x, 2x, 3x in meters.
Surface area = 88 m2 2 (x × 2x + 2x × 3x + x × 3x) = 88
2(2x2 + 6x2 + 3x2) = 88 2 × 11x2 = 88

22x2 = 88 x2 = x2 = 4 x2 = 22 x = 2m
TH

2x = 2 × 2 = 4 and 3x = 3 × 2 = 6.
Hence, the dimensions are 2m, 4m and 6 m

When a coin is tossed three times, possible outcomes are

i.e., three heads or three tails.
So, favourable outcomes are HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH.
Thus, the number of favourable outcomes = 6
