Mark the correct alternative in each of the following :
Question 1.
If the equation x² + 4x + k = 0 has real and distinct roots, then
(a) k < 4
(b) k > 4
(c) k ≥ 4
(d) k ≤ 4
Solution:
(a) In the equation x² + 4x + k = 0
a = 1, b = 4, c = k
D = b² – 4ac = (4)² – 4 x 1 x k = 16 – 4k
Roots are real and distinct
D > 0
=> 16 – 4k > 0
=> 16 > 4k
=> 4 > k
=> k < 4

Question 2.
If the equation x² – ax + 1 = 0 has two distinct roots, then
(a) |a| = 2
(b) |a| < 2
(c) |a| > 2
(d) None of these
Solution:
(c) In the equation x² – ax + 1 = 0
a = 1, b = – a, c = 1
D = b² – 4ac = (-a)² – 4 x 1 x 1 = a² – 4
Roots are distinct
D > 0
=> a² – 4 > 0
=> a² > 4
=> a² > (2)²
=> |a| > 2

RD Sharma Class 10 Solutions Chapter 4 Quadratic Equations MCQS 3
Solution:
(d) In the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0
D = b2 – 4ac
Roots are equal
D = 0 => b2 – 4ac = 0
=> 4ac = b2
=> c = \(\frac { { b }^{ 2 } }{ 4a }\)

Question 5.
If the equation ax2 + 2x + a = 0 has two distinct roots, if
(a) a = ±1
(b) a = 0
(c) a = 0, 1
(d) a = -1, 0
Solution:
(a) In the equation ax2 + 2x + a = 0
D = b2 – 4ac = (2)2 – 4 x a x a = 4 – 4a2
Roots are real and equal
D = 0
=> 4 – 4a2 = 0
=> 4 = 4a2
=> 1 = a2
=> a2 = 1
=> a2 = (±1)2
=> a = ±1

(c) 6, -6
(d) \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 }\) , – \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 }\) [CBSE 2014]
Solution:
(c) 16x2 + 4kx + 9 = 0
Here a = 16, b = 4k, c = 9
Now D = b2 – 4ac = (4k)2 – 4 x 16 x 9 = 16k2 – 576
Roots are real and equal
D = 0 or b2 – 4ac = 0
=> 16k2 – 576 = 0
=> k2 – 36 = 0
=> k2 = 36 = (± 6)2
k = ± 6
k = 6, -6
