11. Answer: C 12. Answer: A

Sol: Sol:

For equation x2 + 2x + 3=0

(A)  
Δ= 22 −4(1)(3) = 4−12 = −8 < 0 so both
roots are imaginary.
Expression is (x2 + (K+K−1)x +K(K-1) =
0 Hence, the roots are non-real. They will exist
in complex conjugate pairs. 
⇒ (x − K) (x − K + 1) = 0  
As one of the roots is common to ax2 + bx + c
⇒ x = K or x = K − 1 = 0 , the other root will also be the complex
conjugate of it. 
⇒ greater part < 2 ⇒ K < 2  
Hence, the roots of the two equations will be
(B) Opposite sign( c
< 0) ⇒ K (K−1) < 0 the same. 
a

Since a, b, c ∈ R.
⇒K∈(0,1)

If one root is common, then both roots are

(C) K (K−1) > 0 ⇒ K ∈ (−∞, 0) U (1, ∞)
common.

(D) K − 1 > 2 ⇒ K > 3 ⇒ K ∈ (3, ∞) Hence, 1a ​= 2b ​= 3c​

Therefore, the correct answer is (C)  a : b : c = 1 : 2 : 3

let tan θ = 1 − x and cot θ = 1 + y

where x, y > 0 and are very small

∴ t1 = (1 − x)1−x, t2 = (1 − x)1 + y

t3 = (1 + y)1−x , t4 = (1 + y)1 + y

clearly t4 > t3 & t1 > t2

also t3 > t1

Then t4 > t3 > t1 > t2

∴  Tp =A + (p-1) d = a..... (i)

Tq = A +  (q − 1) d =b. ... (ii)

Now:1 < α < 2  &  2 < β < 3

Any force less than maximum value will

EA3,EA4,EA5 i.e  289.7, 270.9, 30.1, 17.9
and 8.3.
So, the expected number of electrons
                          in the outermost shell of X-atom is 3

 Sol:

Electronegativity of F − Electronegativity
of Cl = 0. 208√BECl−F − √BECl−Cl BEF −F

Electronegativity of F − Electronegativity
of Cl = 0. 208√61 − √38 × 58

4eV − Electronegativity of Cl = 0.779 eV

Electronegativity of Cl = (4 − 0.779)

eV = 3.220 eV
