- Question
- The factors of ( a2 + 4b2 + 4b ? 4ab ? 2a ? 8 ) are :
Options- A. (a ? 2b ? 4) (a ? 2b + 2)
- B. (a ? b + 2) (a + 4b + 4)
- C. (a + 2b ? 4) (a + 2b + 2)
- D. (a + 2b ? 1) (a ? 2b + 1)
- Correct Answer
- (a ? 2b ? 4) (a ? 2b + 2)
ExplanationGiven that :- The factors of a2 + 4b2 + 4b ? 4ab ? 2a ? 8
= a2 + 4b2 ? 4ab ? 2a + 4b ? 8
= (a ? 2b) 2 ? 2(a ? 2b) ? 8
Let, (a ? 2b) = x
? The given expression = x2 ? 2x ? 8
= x2 ? 4x + 2x ? 8
= x(x ? 4) + 2(x ? 4)
= (x ? 4) (x + 2)
Putting the value of x , we get
? a2 + 4b2 + 4b ? 4ab ? 2a ? 8 = (a ? 2b ? 4) (a ? 2b + 2)
Therefore , required answer will be (a ? 2b ? 4) (a ? 2b + 2) . - 1. If ?, ? are the roots of the equation 2x2 - 3x + 1 = 0, form an

Correct Answer: 2x2 - 5x + 2 = 0
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 11, 13
Explanation:
According to question ,
Let, the two consecutive odd positive integers be 2x + 1 and 2x + 3 where x is a whole number.
Now, ( 2x + 1 )2 + ( 2x + 3 )2 = 290
? 4x2 + 4x + 1 + 4x2 + 12x + 9 = 290
? 8x2 + 16x - 280 = 0
? x2 + 2x - 35 = 0
? ( x + 7 ) ( x - 5 ) = 0
? x = 7, - 5
But, x = ?7 is not possible, since ?7 is not a whole number .
? x = 5.
We get , 2x + 1 = 2 x 5 + 1 = 11 and 2x + 3 = 2 x 5 + 3 = 13
Thus , two consecutive positive odd integers are 11 and 13 .
Correct Answer: p2 = 4q
Explanation:
On comparing it with ax2 + bx + c = 0 , we get a = 1, b = p, c = q
The roots of the equation x2 + px + q = 0 are equal if
b2 - 4ac = 0
? p2 - 4q = 0 ? p2 = 4q.
Thus , required answer is option B .
Correct Answer: k ? 25 12
Explanation:
Correct Answer: b ( 3ac - b2 ) a 3
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
According to question ,we can say that
Let , x = ?30 + ?30 + ?30 +........
On squaring both sides, we have
x2 = 30 + ?30 + ?30 + ?30 +........
? x2 = 30 + x ? x2 - x - 30 = 0
? x2 - 6x + 5x - 30 = 0
? x( x - 6 ) + 5( x - 6 ) = 0
? ( x - 6 ) ( x + 5 ) = 0
? x = 6 because x ? - 5
Hence , required answer is 6 .
Correct Answer: 28
Explanation:
Let, the two natural consecutive odd numbers be n and (n + 2)
Now, according to the question,
? n2 + ( n + 2 )2 = 394
? n2 + n2 + 4 + 4n = 394
? 2n2 + 4n - 390= 0
? n2 + 2n - 195 = 0
? n2 + 15n - 13n - 195 = 0
? n( n + 15 ) - 13( n + 15 ) = 0
? ( n + 15 ) ( n - 13 ) = 0
? n = 13 and n ? - 15
? The two natural consecutive odd numbers be 13 and (13 + 2) = 15 .
? the sum of the numbers = 13 + 15 = 28
Quicker Approach:
By mental operation, 132 + 152 = 169 + 225 = 394
? Required sum = 13 + 15 = 28
Correct Answer: c = a
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 1
Explanation:
According to question ,we have
From equation ?. x2 ? 4 = 0
? x = ± 2,
From equation ?. y2 + 6y + 9 = 0
? ( y + 3 )2 = 0
? ( y + 3 )( y + 3 ) = 0
? y + 3 = 0 ? y = -3 , -3
Clearly , x > y is required answer .
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
According to question ,we have
From equation ?. x2 = 729
? x = ± ?729 = ± 27
From equation ?. y = ?729
? y = 27
Hence , x ? y is required answer .
