Question

In the question, two quantities I and II are given. You have to solve both the quantities to establish the correct relation between Quantity-I and Quantity-II and choose the correct option.

I. 2x2 + 7x + k = 0

II. (ay + b)2 = 0

Find the value of “k”.

When it is given that:

1. Larger roots of equation I is equal to larger root of equation II.

2. Smaller root of equation I is -2.

A 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

From condition 2, we will put the value of x = -2 in equation I, 2x2 + 7x + k = 0 => 2 × (-2)2 + 7 × - 2 + k = 0 => 8 – 17 + k = 0 => k = 6
