* Answer five questions only.
Let f(x) =x+2r +c, where cER.
It is given that the equation f(x) =0 has two real distinct roots. Show that c <1.
Let a and B be the roots of f(r) = 0.
Show that a?+B2 = 4- 2c.
Let c 0 and ER. The quadratic equation with a+ and B+: 1 as its roots is
B
2x2+ 12r + =0. Find the values of c and 2.
(b) Let f() =rtpr+ qx +p. where p, qeR. The remainder when f(r) is divided by (x-2) is
36 more than the remainder when f(r) is divided by (x- 1). Show that 3p +q= 29.
It is also given that (r + 1) is a factor of f). Show that p =6 and q = 11, and factorize f(r)
completely.
Hence, solve f(x) = 3(x + 2).
12,4 The parents of a family decide to invite 6 out of 15 of their close relatives for a dinner. While
the father has 5 close female relatives and 3 close male relatives, the mother has 3 close female
relatives and 4 close male relatives.
Find the number of different ways in which
(i) the father can invite 3 of his close female relatives and the mother can invite 3 of her
close male relatives,
(ii) the father can invite 3 of his close relatives and the mother can invite 3 of her close
relatives so that 3males and 3 females are invited.
