Question 32. The equation The Equation  Has has
  1.    no solution
  2.    1
  3.    2 solutions
  4.    3 solutions
  5.    >3 solutions
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> no solution
:
A
Option (a)Squaring both sidesThe Equation  HasFor x=5/4 LHS≠RHSHence x=5/4 is not a root of the equation.Answer=a
Question 33. The value of a for which the quadratic equation 3x2+2(a2+1) x+ (a2-3a+2) =0 possesses real roots of the opposite sign lies in
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> no solution
:
C
Answer = option (c)To have 2 roots of the opposite sign, the product of the roots need to be negative and the equation should have real roots4(a2+1)2 -12(a2-3a+2) ≥0 and (a2-3a+2)/3< 0 i.e. (a-1)(a-2)<0 or 1<a<2
Question 34. There are 2 quadratic equations, a2 –a +p=0 and a2 – a + 3p=0 (p≠0). For what value of p will one root of the second equation = double the root of the first equation? 
  1.    2
  2.    3
  3.    -2
  4.    –3
  5.    none of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> -2
:
C
Option (c)
Go from answer options
1) Take p=2
a2 –a +2=0 and a2 – a + 6=0
Roots are = 1+(1+24)2 and (124)2
Hence, this option is ruled out
Take p = -2
a2 –a -2=0 and a2 – a -6=0
Roots of 1st equation = 2,-1 and roots of second equation = 3, -2
Question 35. Find the value of Z.
  1.    2
  2.    1
  3.    0
  4.    3
  5.    none of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 0
:
C
WXYZ = WXY * XZ => WXY (10) + Z = WXY (10x) + WXYZ.
Comparing we get => X = 1 and Z = 0
Question 36. Y = px2+12x+9 has real roots. What is the range for the value of p?
  1.    p
  2.    p≤ 1/4
  3.    p≤4
  4.    p≤ 3/4
  5.    p> 4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> p≤4
:
C
Option (c)Since the condition D≥0 is given (as the roots are real), we will find the value of p using this conditionD= b2-4ac≥0122-(4xpx9) ≥0144-36p≥0144≥36pp≤4

Question 38. Determine k for which the roots of the equation 9x2 + 2kx + 4 = 0 are equal.
  1.    6
  2.    - 6
  3.    Both (a) and (b) 
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Both (a) and (b) 
:
C
Let the roots be P and P.
Sum of the roots = 2P = - 2k/9
P = - k/9
and product of roots = P2 = 4/9
(- k/9)2 = 4/9
k2/81 = 4/9
k2 = 36
k =± 6
Question 39. The equation x2x1=12x1 has:
  1.    No root
  2.    One root
  3.    2 equal roots
  4.    Infinite roots
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> No root
:
A
Option (a)
x(x - 1) - 2 = (x - 1) - 2
x2x2=x12
x22x+1=0
(x1)2=0
x = 1.
x = 1 is the only solution but it will make the denominator 0
Hence, there are no roots.
Question 40. If f(x) = If F(x) =  Then Which Of The Following Is Necessarily True?... then which of the following is necessarily true?
  1.    f-1(x) f(x) = 1
  2.    f-1(x) f(x) = -1
  3.    f-1(x) = f(x)
  4.    f-1(x) - f(x) = 2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> f-1(x) f(x) = -1
:
B
option (b)
If F(x) =  Then Which Of The Following Is Necessarily True?...
