Hints and Solutions

1. (4) or, p = –8/3, –15/4
2. (1)
20. (3)
3. (3)
The roots of the equation x2 + 2x + 9 = 0 are
4. (1) imaginary as the discriminant D = 4 – 36 = –32,
5. (1) which is negative.
6. (3) As the imaginary roots of a quadratic are conjugate
7. (2) of each other, so both the roots of the equation will
be common.
8. (2)
So, a/1 = b/2 = c/9
9. (3) or, a:b:c = 1:2:9
10. (2)
11. (3) 21. (3)
12. (2)
13. (2) 22. (4)
14. (2)
15. (4) 23. (1)
16. (1,3) Case I

17. (1, 2,4) 2x ≥ 1

18. (1,2) ⇒ 5 + 2x – 1 = 2x (2x–2)
19. (1) Let 2x = t
Let a be the common root of the equations. ⇒ 5 + t – 1 = t(t – 2)
Then a will satisfy both the equation.
= t2 – 3t – 4 = 0
Thus,
3a2 – 2a + p = 0 ⇒ t = 4 or –1 (invalid) ( 2x ≠ –1)
6a2 – 17a + 12 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 4
By cross multiplication we have, ⇒x=2
a2/(–24 + 17p) = a/(6p – 36) = –1/39 ∴ only one solution
From first and second we have
Case II
a = (17p – 24)/(6p – 36) ………(1)
From second and third, we have 2x < 1
a = (6p – 36)/(–39) ⇒ 5 + 1 – 2x = 2x(2x – 2)
or, a = (2p – 12)/(–13) ………(2) ⇒ t2 – t – 6 = 0
From (1) and (2) we get
⇒ (t – 3) (t – 2) = 0
(17p – 24)/(6p – 36) = (2p – 12)/(–13)
or, 12p2 – 144p + 432 = –221p + 312 ⇒ t = 3, –2
or, 12p2 + 77p + 120 = 0 2x = 2 (invalid as 2x < 1), or 2x = –2 (invalid)
………(3) Therefore, number of real roots in one.
or, 12p2 + 45p + 32p + 120 = 0
or, 3p(4p + 15) + 8(4p + 15) = 0
or, (3p + 8) (4p + 15) = 0

24. (4) As Pn – Pn–1 = (αn – βn) – (αn–1 – βn–1)

Given: = αn–2(α2 – α) – βn–2 (β2 – β)
x2 – 3|x| + 2 = 0 = 4(αn–2 – βn–2)
Pn – Pn–1 = 4 Pn–2
⇒ |x|2 – 3|x| + 2 = 0 ( x2 = |x|2)
Hence Expression (1)
⇒ |x|2 – 2|x| – |x| + 2 = 0 P16 ( P15 − P14 ) − P15 ( P15 − P14 )
⇒ |x| (|x| – 2) – 1 (|x| – 2) = 0 P13 P14
⇒ (|x| – 2) (|x| – 1) = 0 ( P15 − P14 )( P16 − P15 )
=
⇒ (|x| – 2) = 0 or (|x| – 1) = 0 P13 P14
⇒ |x| = 2 or 1 ( 4 P13 ) ( 4 P14 )
= = 16
 x =  2 or  1 P13 P14
