3. Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other is
labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : If the graph of a polynomial touches x-axis at only one point, then
the polynomial cannot be a quadratic polynomial.
Reason (R) : A polynomial of degree n(n > 1) can have at most n zeroes.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the
options given below
(a) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
(b) Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
(c) A is correct but R is not correct
(d) A is not correct but R is correct

SECTION – B (2 Marks Each)


4. If one of the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial f(x) = 4x2 – 8kx – 9 is equal in
magnitude but opposite in sign of the other, find the value of k.
