C 25
D 24
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

To find the sum of the fourth powers of the roots αθ\alpha_\theta and βθ\beta_\theta of the quadratic equation 2x2+(cosθ)x1=02x^2 + (\cos \theta)x - 1 = 0, we start analyzing the expression αθ4+βθ4\alpha_\theta^4 + \beta_\theta^4.

The equation can be rewritten with its roots using: α+β=cosθ2,αβ=12 \alpha + \beta = -\dfrac{\cos \theta}{2}, \quad \alpha \beta = -\dfrac{1}{2} We need to calculate α2+β2\alpha^2 + \beta^2 and α2β2\alpha^2 \beta^2: α2+β2=(α+β)22αβ=(cosθ2)22(12)=cos2θ4+1 \alpha^2 + \beta^2 = (\alpha + \beta)^2 - 2\alpha\beta = \left(-\dfrac{\cos \theta}{2}\right)^2 - 2\left(-\dfrac{1}{2}\right) = \dfrac{\cos^2 \theta}{4} + 1 α2β2=(αβ)2=(12)2=14 \alpha^2 \beta^2 = (\alpha \beta)^2 = \left(-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2 = \dfrac{1}{4} Substitute these into: α4+β4=(α2+β2)22α2β2=(cos2θ4+1)212 \alpha^4 + \beta^4 = (\alpha^2 + \beta^2)^2 - 2\alpha^2 \beta^2 = \left(\dfrac{\cos^2 \theta}{4} + 1\right)^2 - \dfrac{1}{2} Maximize and minimize (cos2θ4+1)2\left(\dfrac{\cos^2 \theta}{4} + 1\right)^2: Zero of cosθ\cos\theta leads to: (024+1)2=1 \left(\dfrac{0^2}{4} + 1\right)^2 = 1 Max value cos2θ=1\cos^2 \theta = 1: (14+1)2=(54)2=2516 \left(\dfrac{1}{4} + 1\right)^2 = \left(\dfrac{5}{4}\right)^2 = \dfrac{25}{16} Substitute back: Max: 251612=2516816=1716 \text{Max: } \dfrac{25}{16} - \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{25}{16} - \dfrac{8}{16} = \dfrac{17}{16} Min: 112=12 \text{Min: } 1 - \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{1}{2} Finally, compute 16(M+m)16(M + m): 16(1716+12)=16(1716+816)=16×2516=25 16\left(\dfrac{17}{16} + \dfrac{1}{2}\right) = 16\left(\dfrac{17}{16} + \dfrac{8}{16}\right) = 16 \times \dfrac{25}{16} = 25

Q92
Let f:R{0}(,1)f: \mathbf{R}-\{0\} \rightarrow(-\infty, 1) be a polynomial of degree 2 , satisfying f(x)f(1x)=f(x)+f(1x)f(x) f\left(\dfrac{1}{x}\right)=f(x)+f\left(\dfrac{1}{x}\right). If f( K)=2 Kf(\mathrm{~K})=-2 \mathrm{~K}, then the sum of squares of all possible values of K is :
A 9
B 1
C 6
D 7
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

as f(x)f(x) is a polynomial of degree two let it be

f(x)=ax2+bx+c(a0)f(x)=a x^2+b x+c \quad(a \neq 0)

on satisfying given conditions we get

C=1&a=±1C=1 \& a= \pm 1

hence f(x)=1±x2f(x)=1 \pm x^2 also range (,1]\in(-\infty, 1] hence

f(x)=1x2 now f(k)=2k\begin{gathered} f(x)=1-x^2 \\ \text{ now } f(k)=-2 k \end{gathered}
1k2=2kk22k1=01-\mathrm{k}^2=-2 \mathrm{k} \rightarrow \mathrm{k}^2-2 \mathrm{k}-1=0

let roots of this equation be α&β\alpha \& \beta then α2+β2=(α+β)22αβ\alpha^2+\beta^2=(\alpha+\beta)^2-2 \alpha \beta

Q93
The product of all the rational roots of the equation (x29x+11)2(x4)(x5)=3\left(x^2-9 x+11\right)^2-(x-4)(x-5)=3, is equal to
A 7
B 21
C 28
D 14
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

To solve the given equation, start by rewriting the expression: (x29x+11)2(x4)(x5)=3 (x^2 - 9x + 11)^2 - (x - 4)(x - 5) = 3 First, simplify the second part of the expression: (x4)(x5)=x29x+20 (x - 4)(x - 5) = x^2 - 9x + 20 Now the equation becomes: (x29x+11)2(x29x+20)=3 (x^2 - 9x + 11)^2 - (x^2 - 9x + 20) = 3 Introduce a substitution for simplification: Let t=x29x \text{Let } t = x^2 - 9x Thus, the equation transforms to: t2+22t+121t203=0 t^2 + 22t + 121 - t - 20 - 3 = 0 Simplify further: t2+21t+98=0 t^2 + 21t + 98 = 0 Factor the quadratic: (t+14)(t+7)=0 (t + 14)(t + 7) = 0 This gives: t=7ort=14 t = -7 \quad \text{or} \quad t = -14 Address each case where t=x29x t = x^2 - 9x : x29x=7 x^2 - 9x = -7 x29x+7=0 x^2 - 9x + 7 = 0 Solving this quadratic equation, we find the roots: x=9±814×72=9±532 x = \dfrac{9 \pm \sqrt{81 - 4 \times 7}}{2} = \dfrac{9 \pm \sqrt{53}}{2} x29x=14 x^2 - 9x = -14 x29x+14=0 x^2 - 9x + 14 = 0 Solving this quadratic equation: x=9±814×142=9±252 x = \dfrac{9 \pm \sqrt{81 - 4 \times 14}}{2} = \dfrac{9 \pm \sqrt{25}}{2} x=9±52=7orx=2 x = \dfrac{9 \pm 5}{2} = 7 \quad \text{or} \quad x = 2 The rational roots from the second equation are 7 and 2.

Thus, the product of all the rational roots is: 7×2=14 7 \times 2 = 14

A 6(22)6(2-\sqrt{2})
B 3(32)3(3-\sqrt{2})
C 3(22)3(2-\sqrt{2})
D 6(32)6(3-\sqrt{2})
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

To find the sum of the squares of all the roots of the equation x2+2x34=0 x^2 + |2x - 3| - 4 = 0 : Case I: x32 x \geq \dfrac{3}{2} For x32 x \geq \dfrac{3}{2} , the expression 2x3 |2x - 3| becomes 2x3 2x - 3 .

Thus, the equation becomes: x2+2x34=0 x^2 + 2x - 3 - 4 = 0 Simplifying gives: x2+2x7=0 x^2 + 2x - 7 = 0 Solving this quadratic equation, we find: x=221 x = 2\sqrt{2} - 1 Case II: xFor x For x x2+32x4=0 x^2 + 3 - 2x - 4 = 0 Simplifying gives: x22x1=0 x^2 - 2x - 1 = 0 Solving this quadratic equation, we obtain: x=12 x = 1 - \sqrt{2} Sum of the Squares of the Roots The sum of the squares of the roots is: (221)2+(12)2 (2\sqrt{2} - 1)^2 + (1 - \sqrt{2})^2 Calculating each term: (221)2=(22)22221+12=842+1=942(2\sqrt{2} - 1)^2 = (2\sqrt{2})^2 - 2 \cdot 2\sqrt{2} \cdot 1 + 1^2 = 8 - 4\sqrt{2} + 1 = 9 - 4\sqrt{2} (12)2=12212+(2)2=122+2=322(1 - \sqrt{2})^2 = 1^2 - 2 \cdot 1 \cdot \sqrt{2} + (\sqrt{2})^2 = 1 - 2\sqrt{2} + 2 = 3 - 2\sqrt{2} Adding these results: (942)+(322)=1262 (9 - 4\sqrt{2}) + (3 - 2\sqrt{2}) = 12 - 6\sqrt{2} This simplifies to 6(22) 6(2 - \sqrt{2}) .

Thus, the sum of the squares of the roots is 6(22) 6(2 - \sqrt{2}) .

Q97
Let Pn=αn+βn,nN\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{n}}=\alpha^{\mathrm{n}}+\beta^{\mathrm{n}}, \mathrm{n} \in \mathrm{N}. If P10=123,P9=76,P8=47\mathrm{P}_{10}=123, \mathrm{P}_9=76, \mathrm{P}_8=47 and P1=1\mathrm{P}_1=1, then the quadratic equation having roots 1α\dfrac{1}{\alpha} and 1β\dfrac{1}{\beta} is :
A x2+x1=0x^2+x-1=0
B x2x+1=0x^2-x+1=0
C x2+x+1=0x^2+x+1=0
D x2x1=0x^2-x-1=0
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Given: P10=123 P_{10} = 123 P9=76 P_9 = 76 P8=47 P_8 = 47 P1=1 P_1 = 1 We know that: Pn=αn+βn P_n = \alpha^n + \beta^n According to Newton’s identities, we have the relation: P10=P9+P8 P_{10} = P_9 + P_8 This implies: P10P9P8=0 P_{10} - P_9 - P_8 = 0 From P1=1 P_1 = 1 , it follows that: α+β=1 \alpha + \beta = 1 αβ=1 \alpha \beta = 1 Now, we are tasked with finding the quadratic equation whose roots are 1α\dfrac{1}{\alpha} and 1β\dfrac{1}{\beta}.

For such a quadratic equation: Using the relationship between roots and coefficients, the equation with roots 1α\dfrac{1}{\alpha} and 1β\dfrac{1}{\beta} is: x2(1α+1β)x+1αβ=0 x^2 - \left(\dfrac{1}{\alpha} + \dfrac{1}{\beta}\right)x + \dfrac{1}{\alpha \beta} = 0 Substitute the known sum and product of α\alpha and β\beta: x2(α+βαβ)x+1αβ=0 x^2 - \left(\dfrac{\alpha + \beta}{\alpha \beta}\right)x + \dfrac{1}{\alpha \beta} = 0 Given that α+β=1\alpha + \beta = 1 and αβ=1\alpha \beta = 1, we can simplify: x2(11)x+11=0 x^2 - \left(\dfrac{1}{1}\right)x + \dfrac{1}{1} = 0 This simplifies to: x2+x1=0 x^2 + x - 1 = 0 Thus, the quadratic equation having roots 1α\dfrac{1}{\alpha} and 1β\dfrac{1}{\beta} is: x2+x1=0 x^2 + x - 1 = 0
