Only one choice is correct. ( + 4 , - 1 )

1. Putting x = a and y = c y
c = (m2 + 4) a2 + (m – 2)2 a – 4m + 2
c = (a2 + a) m2 − 4(a + 1)m + 4a2 + 4a + 2 3
[must be equal to c]
∴ (a + a) m2 – 4(a + 1)m + (4a2 + 4a + 2) – c =
2
2
0 must be an identity is m
Hence a2 + a = 0 and a = −1 1
⇒ a = −1 and c = 4a2 + 4a + 2 = 4 – 4 + 2 = 2
∴ a = −1; c = 2 ⇒ (−1, 2) x

3. The case is possible only if < −1
x2 + x + 2
 denominator of L.H.S is always positive
( )
∴ 3x 2 + 3x − 26 < − x 2 + x + 2 ⇒ 4x 2 + 4x − 24 < 0 or x 2 + x − 6 < 0 i.e. x ∈ ( −3,2 )
(C) (-6, -7) (D) (-7, -9)

4. Let f ( x ) = x 2 + +
a a
The graph of this quadratic function will be an upward parabola.
As the roots lie between -3 and 3, f(-3)>0 and f(3)>0
3b c 3b c
⇒ x2 − + > 0 and x 2 + + >0
a a a a
⇒ smaller of the two must be positive

MULTI- CORRECT
1. f(x) = (x2+ 2x + + 3)2 2(x2
+ 2x + 3) + 3
x2 + 2x + 3 > 0 ∀ x ∈ R
∴ f(x) > 0 ∀ x ∈ R.
Assume x2 + 2x + 3 = y
f(x) = y2 + 2y + 3 = (y + 1)2 + 2 ⇒ f(x) = (x2 + 2x + 4)2 + 2 ⇒ f(x) = [(x + 1)2 + 3]2 + 2
f(x) ≥ 9 + 2 = 11 ⇒ f(x)|min. = 11.

INTEGER TYPE

1. We ( )
x 2 + ( 2k + 1) x + k 2 + 2 =
0
have

α 2α

∴Sum of roots = α + 2α = −(2k + 1)

 − ( 2k + 1)
⇒α= …(1)
3
Also, product of roots = α(2α) = (k2 + 2)
⇒ 2α2 = k2 + 2 …(2)
∴ On putting the value of from α equation (1) in equation (2), we get
2
9
( )
4k 2 + 4k + 1 = k 2 + 2

⇒ ( k − 4 )= 0
2 2
⇒ k − 8k + 16
= 0
∴k=4
So, roots are −3, −6.

cos θ 1 − sin θ
2. One
= root = = sec θ =
1 − sin θ cos θ
− tan θ ( 3± 2 ) .....(1)
 product of roots = 1
(
So, other root = sec θ + tan θ = 3  2 ) …..(2)

From equation (1) and (2), we get secθ = 3 , tan θ = ± 2

So, cosec2θ = 1.5, cot2θ = 0.5
