Section-A 4. Option (C) is correct.

1. Option (B) is correct. Explanation: 2 x 2 - 5x + 1 = 0
Explanation: According to the prime factorisation On comparing with ax2 +bx +c = 0
method, 3750 can be written as a = 2, b = − 5 , c = 1
3750 = 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 3 × 2 = 54 × 31 × 21
Discriminant, D = b2 – 4ac = ( − 5 )2 – 4(2)(1)
It is clear from above, that exponent of 5 in the prime
factorisation of 3750 is 4. =5–8=–3<0
Since, D (i.e., b2 – 4ac) < 0
Therefore, the equation has no real root.

2. Option (B) is correct. 3 3 3
Explanation: Given, x2 – 3x – m (m + 3) Here, common differences are not equal. Hence, it is
putting x = – m, we get not an A.P.
= (– m)2 – 3(– m) – m(m + 3) 6. Option (B) is correct.
= m2 + 3m – m2 – 3m = 0, Explanation:
putting x = m + 3, we get
= (m + 3)2 – 3(m + 3) – m(m + 3)
= (m + 3) [m + 3 – 3 – m]
= (m + 3) [0] = 0.
Hence, – m and m + 3 are the zeroes of the given
polynomial.

Commonly Made Error

Students often make mistakes in analysing

the zeroes as they get confused with different
terms. The distance of (–1, 7) from X-axis is 7 units.
