Duration: 1 Hrs MM: 25
1.  Find the values of k for each of the following quadratic equations, so that 4
they have two equal roots.
(i) 2x2 + kx + 3 = 0
(ii) kx (x – 2) + 6 = 0
2. Find the discriminant of the equation 3x2– 2x +1/3= 0 and hence find the 3
nature of its roots. Find them, if they are real.
3.  If x = 3 is one root of the quadratic equation x2 – 2kx – 6 = 0, then find the 3
value of k.
4.  Find the value of p, for which one root of the quadratic equation px2 – 14x 3
+ 8 = 0 is 6 times the other.
5.  If -5 is a root of the quadratic equation 2x2 + px – 15 = 0 and the quadratic 3
equation p(x2 + x) + k = 0 has equal roots, find the value of k.
6. For what value of k are the roots of the quadratic equation kx(x - 2√5) are 3
real and equal?
7. If 2/3 and -3 are the roots of the equation px² + 7x + q = 0, find the values 3
of p and q.
(i) If √2 is a root of the equation kx² + √2x – 4 = 0, find the value of k. 3
8. (ii) If a is a root of the equation x² – (a + b)x + k = 0, find the value of k.
