  • Question
  • In the following determine the set of value of P for which the given quadratic equation has real roots. Px2 + 4 x + 1 = 0


  • Options
  • A. P ? 4
  • B. P > 4
  • C. P ? 4
  • D. P ? 4

  • Correct Answer
  • P ? 4 

    Explanation

    Given :- Px2 + 4x + 1 = 0
    Compare with Ax 2 + Bx + C = 0, we get
    A = P, B = 4, C = 1
    For real roots,
    B2 - 4AC ? 0
    ? 16 - 4P ? 0
    ? 16 ? 4P
    ? P ? 16/4 ? P ? 4.
    Hence , required answer is option C .
