      The expression 12x - x² - 20 is positive between which

      values of x?
      A 2 > x > 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 2 < x < 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 2 ≤ x ≤ 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 2 ≥ x ≥ 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      So, 12x - x² - 20 > 0

      Or, x² - 12x + 20 < 0

      Or, x² - 10x - 2x + 20 < 0

      Or, x(x - 10) -2(x - 10) < 0

      Or, (x - 2)(x - 10) < 0

      So, x = 2 or x = 10

      So, the expression is positive between 2 and 10.
