Question : Which of the following equations has equal roots?

Option 1: $3x^{2}-6x+2=0$

Option 2: $3x^{2}-6x+3=0$

Option 3: $x^{2}-8x+8=0$

Option 4: $4x^{2}-8x+2=0$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $3x^{2}-6x+3=0$


Solution : An equation has equal roots if its discriminant is zero. The discriminant of a quadratic equation $ax^{2}+bx+c=0$ is given by $b^{2}-4ac$.
Option (i):
$3x^{2}-6x+2=0$
So, $D=(-6)^{2}-4×3×2=36-24$
$\therefore D=12$ > 0
Option (ii):
$3x^{2}-6x+3=0$
So, $D=(-6)^{2}-4×3×3=36-36$
$\therefore D=0$
Option (iii):
$x^{2}-8x+8=0$
So, $D=(-8)^{2}-4×1×8=64-32$
$\therefore D=32$ >

Question : In $\Delta ABC$ the straight line parallel to the side $BC$ meets $AB$ and $AC$ at the point $P$ and $Q,$ respectively. If $AP=QC$, the length of $AB$ is $\operatorname{12 units}$ and the length of $AQ$ is $\operatorname{2 units}$, then the length (in units) of $CQ$ is:

Option 1: $4$

Option 2: $6$

Option 3: $8$

Option 4: $10$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $4$


Solution :

Given that $AP=QC$, $AB=\operatorname{12 units}$ and $AQ=\operatorname{2 units}$
Let $AP=QC=x\operatorname{ units}$
Since $PQ$ is parallel to $BC$, then,
$\Delta ABC\sim\Delta APQ$
Since the triangles are similar, the ratios of their corresponding sides are equal.
$\frac{AP}{AB}=\frac{AQ}{AC}$
⇒ $\frac{x}{12}=\frac{2}{2+x}$
⇒ $2x+x^2=24$
⇒ $x^2+2x-24=0$
⇒ $(x+6)(x-4)=0$
⇒ $x=4$
