SECTION-I α2 – 6α – 2 = 0
α 10 – 6 α 9 – 2 α 8 = 0
1. Ans ( D )
Similarly
Consider (p2 + q2)2 – 2p2q2 = 272
( α 10 – β 10) – 6( α 9 – β 9) – 2( α 8 – β 8) = 0
((p + q)2 – 2pq)2 – 2p2q2 = 272 ⇒ a10 – 6a9 – 2a8 = 0
16 – 16pq + 2p2q2 = 272
⇒
(pq)2 – 8pq – 128 = 0
5. Ans ( A )

∴ pq = 16
∴ Required equation : x2 – (2)x + 16 = 0

x2 – 2(3K – 1) x + 8K2 – 7 > 0
Now, D < 0

|x|2 – |x| – 12 = 0
3. Ans ( B )
(|x| + 3)(|x| – 4) = 0
∵ α , β ∈ R ⇒ other root is 1 + 2i
|x| = 4 ⇒ x = ± 2
α = – (sum of roots) = – (1 – 2i + 1 + 2i) = – 2
β = product of roots = (1 – 2i) (1 + 2i) = 5
7. Ans ( C )
∴ α – β = –7

12. Ans ( A )
∵ k≠1 x2 – 9x + 3 = 0
∴ Ans. α+β=9
αβ = 3
9. Ans ( B ) We know that
x + 1 – 2log2(3 + 2x) + 2log4(10 – 2 – x) = 0 α 2 + β 2 = ( α + β )2 – 2 α β
log2(2x+1) – log2(3 + 2x)2 + log2(10 – 2 – x) = 0 ∴ α 2 + β 2 = 92 – 2 × 3
= 81 – 6
= 75
and α 2 β 2 = ( α β )2 = 32 = 9
Now equation whose roots are α 2, β 2 will be
x2 – ( α 2 + β 2)x + α 2 β 2 = 0
⇒ 20.2x – 2 = 9 + 22x + 6.2x i.e. x2 – (75)x + 9 = 0
∴ (2x)2 – 14(2x) + 11 = 0 Roots are x2 – bx – c = 0
∴ Comparing we get
x1 + x2 = log2(11) b = 75
c = – 9.

13. Ans ( A ) 16. Ans ( B )
α and β are roots of 5x2 + 6x – 2 = 0 If exactly one root in (0, 1) then
⇒ 5a2 + 6a – 2 = 0
⇒ 5 α n+2 + 6 α n+1 – 2 α n = 0 … (1)
(By multiplying an)
Similarly 5 β n+2 + 6 β n+1 – 2 β n = 0 … (2)
By adding (1) & (2)
5Sn+2 + 6Sn+1 – 2Sn = 0 ⇒ f(0).f(1) < 0
For n = 4 ⇒ 2( λ 2 – 4 λ + 3) < 0
⇒ 1<λ<3
14. Ans ( C ) Now for λ = 1, 2x2 – 4x +2 = 0
f(x) = a(x – 3) (x – α ) (x – 1)2 = 0, x = 1, 1
So both roots doesn't lie between (0, 1)
f(2) = a( α – 2)
∴λ≠1
f( – 1) = 4a(1 + α )
Again for λ = 3
f( – 1) + f(2) = 0 ⇒ a( α – 2 + 4 + 4 α ) = 0
10x2 – 12x + 2 = 0
a ≠ 0 ⇒ 5α = – 2
⇒ x = 1,
α= = – 0.4
so if one root is 1 then second root lie between
α ∈ ( – 1, 0)
(0, 1)
15. Ans ( C ) so λ = 3 is correct.
α , β are roots of x2 + px + 2 = 0 ∴ λ ∈ (1, 3]

⇒ α + pα + 2 = 0 & β + pβ + 2 = 0

But are roots of 2x2 + 2qx + 1 = 0 α + β = , αγ = = 9λ
