Here, a = 2 , b = 2 ^p + 1h
= 5 - 8 =- 3 < 0 and c =p

x = ^1 h3 (c) 556 (d) 557
or x = ^- 2h3 =- 8 Ans : (a) 576

(c) no real roots (d) one real root Given, number of birds in vakula tree = 56
Ans : (c) no real roots According to the given condition,
Given equation is, x + d x + x + 7 x n + 56 = x

Let, x2 = y 36
^x h + x + 1 = 0
2 2 2
14x - 7 x - 56 = 0
y2 + y + 1 = 0 36
On comparing with ay2 + by + c = 0 , 7x - 7 x - 56 = 0
18
we get a = 1, b = 1 and c = 1
x - x -8 = 0
Discriminant, D = b2 - 4ac 18
= ^1 h2 - 4 ^1 h^1 h [dividing both sides by7]
= 1 - 4 =- 3 x - 18 x - 144 = 0
Since, D < 0
y2 + y + 1 = 0 Put x = y , then above equation becomes

i.e., x 4 + x2 + 1 = 0 y2 - 18y - 144 = 0

y2 - 24y + 6y - 144 = 0
or ^x2 + 1h2 - x2 = 0 has no real roots.
y ^y - 24h + 6 ^y - 24h = 0
14. The equation 2x2 + 2 ^p + 1h x + p = 0, where p is real,
^y - 24h^y + 6h = 0
always has roots that are
(a) Equal & y = 24 or - 6
(b) Equal in magnitude but opposite in sign But y !- 6
(c) Irrational as x =y
(d) Real y = 24
Ans : (d) Real & x = 24 & x = 576

x + 10 - 6 =5 ...(1)
x + 10 Given equation of curve is y = x2 + x - 12
x + 10 - 6 = 5 On comparing with y = ax2 + bx + c ,
x + 10 we get a =1>0
x + 4 = 5 ^ x + 10 h So, it opens upwards
On squaring both sides, we get To draw its graph, we need some different values of y
x2 + 16 + 8x = 25 ^x + 10h corresponding to different values of x .

x2 + 8x - 25x - 250 + 16 = 0 x -4 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
x2 - 17x - 234 = 0 y 0 - 10 - 12 - 12 - 10 - 6 0
x2 - 26x + 9x - 234 = 0
x ^x - 26h + 9 ^x - 26h = 0
^x + 9h^x - 26h = 0
x + 9 = 0 or x - 26 = 0
x = 26 or - 9
On putting x =- 9 in Eq. (1), we get
- 9 + 10 - 6 =5
- 9 + 10
1 - 6 = 5 &- 5 = 5

Which is not true.
Hence, extraneous root of given equation is - 9 .
