$f(k) = - {2 \over k}$ for k = 2, 3, 4, 5. Then the value of 52 $-$ 10f(10) is equal to :
$f(k) = - {2 \over k}$ for k = 2, 3, 4, 5. Then the value of 52 $-$ 10f(10) is equal to :
Correct Answer: 26
Explanation:
$k\,f(k) + 2 = \lambda (x - 2)(x - 3)(x - 4)(x - 5)$ .... (1)
put x = 0
we get $\lambda = {1 \over {60}}$
Now, put $\lambda$ in equation (1)
$ \Rightarrow kf(k) + 2 = {1 \over {60}}(x - 2)(x - 3)(x - 4)(x - 5)$
Put x = 10
$ \Rightarrow 10f(10) + 2 = {1 \over {60}}(8)(7)(6)(5)$
$ \Rightarrow 52 - 10f(10) = 52 - 26 = 26$
put x = 0
we get $\lambda = {1 \over {60}}$
Now, put $\lambda$ in equation (1)
$ \Rightarrow kf(k) + 2 = {1 \over {60}}(x - 2)(x - 3)(x - 4)(x - 5)$
Put x = 10
$ \Rightarrow 10f(10) + 2 = {1 \over {60}}(8)(7)(6)(5)$
$ \Rightarrow 52 - 10f(10) = 52 - 26 = 26$

Let $\lambda$ $\ne$ 0 be in R. If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the roots of the equation x2 $-$ x + 2$\lambda$ = 0, and $\alpha$ and $\gamma$ are the roots of equation 3x2 $-$ 10x + 27$\lambda$ = 0, then ${{\beta \gamma } \over \lambda }$ is equal to ____________.
Correct Answer: 18
Explanation:
3$\alpha$2 $-$ 10$\alpha$ + 27$\lambda$ = 0 ..... (1)
$\alpha$2 $-$ $\alpha$ + 2$\lambda$ = 0 ...... (2)
(1) $-$ 3(2) gives
$-$7$\alpha$ + 21$\lambda$ = 0 $\Rightarrow$ $\alpha$ = 3$\lambda$
Put $\alpha$ = 3$\lambda$ in equation (1) we get
9$\lambda$2 $-$ 3$\lambda$ + 2$\lambda$ $-$ 0
9$\lambda$2 = $\lambda$ $\Rightarrow$ $\lambda$ = ${1 \over 9}$ as $\lambda$ $\ne$ 0
Now, $\alpha$ = 3$\lambda$ $\Rightarrow$ $\lambda$ = ${1 \over 3}$
$\alpha$ + $\beta$ = 1 $\Rightarrow$ $\beta$ = 2/3
$\alpha$ + $\gamma$ = ${10 \over 3}$ $\Rightarrow$ $\gamma$ = 3
${{\beta \gamma } \over \lambda } = {{{2 \over 3} \times 3} \over {{1 \over 9}}} = 18$
$\alpha$2 $-$ $\alpha$ + 2$\lambda$ = 0 ...... (2)
(1) $-$ 3(2) gives
$-$7$\alpha$ + 21$\lambda$ = 0 $\Rightarrow$ $\alpha$ = 3$\lambda$
Put $\alpha$ = 3$\lambda$ in equation (1) we get
9$\lambda$2 $-$ 3$\lambda$ + 2$\lambda$ $-$ 0
9$\lambda$2 = $\lambda$ $\Rightarrow$ $\lambda$ = ${1 \over 9}$ as $\lambda$ $\ne$ 0
Now, $\alpha$ = 3$\lambda$ $\Rightarrow$ $\lambda$ = ${1 \over 3}$
$\alpha$ + $\beta$ = 1 $\Rightarrow$ $\beta$ = 2/3
$\alpha$ + $\gamma$ = ${10 \over 3}$ $\Rightarrow$ $\gamma$ = 3
${{\beta \gamma } \over \lambda } = {{{2 \over 3} \times 3} \over {{1 \over 9}}} = 18$

Correct Answer: 66
Explanation:
${2 \over {x - 1}} - {1 \over {x - 2}} = {2 \over k}$
$x \in R - \{ 1,2\} $
$ \Rightarrow k(2x - 4 - x + 1) = 2({x^2} - 3x + 2)$
$ \Rightarrow k(x - 3) = 2({x^2} - 3x + 2)$
for x $\ne$ 3, $k = 2\left( {x - 3 + {2 \over {x - 3}} + 3} \right)$
$x - 3 + {2 \over {x - 3}} \ge 2\sqrt 2 ,\forall x > 3$
& $x - 3 + {2 \over {x - 3}} \le - 2\sqrt 2 ,\forall x < - 3$
$ \Rightarrow 2\left( {x - 3 + {2 \over {x - 3}} + 3} \right) \in \left( { - \infty ,6 - 4\sqrt 2 } \right] \cup \left[ {6 + 4\sqrt 2 ,\infty } \right)$
for no real roots
$k \in (6 - 4\sqrt 2 ,6 + 4\sqrt 2 ) - \{ 0\} $
Integral k$\in${1, 2 ..... 11}
Sum of k = 66
$x \in R - \{ 1,2\} $
$ \Rightarrow k(2x - 4 - x + 1) = 2({x^2} - 3x + 2)$
$ \Rightarrow k(x - 3) = 2({x^2} - 3x + 2)$
for x $\ne$ 3, $k = 2\left( {x - 3 + {2 \over {x - 3}} + 3} \right)$
$x - 3 + {2 \over {x - 3}} \ge 2\sqrt 2 ,\forall x > 3$

Correct Answer: 1
Explanation:
${x^2} + 5\sqrt 2 x + 10 = 0$
& ${P_n} = {\alpha ^n} - {\beta ^n}$ (Given)
Now, ${{{{P_{17}}{P_{20}} + 5\sqrt 2 {P_{17}}{P_{19}}} \over {{P_{18}}{P_{19}} + 5\sqrt 2 P_{18}^2}}}$ = ${{{{P_{17}}({P_{20}} + 5\sqrt 2 {P_{19}})} \over {{P_{18}}({P_{19}} + 5\sqrt 2 P_{18}^{})}}}$
${{{P_{17}}({\alpha ^{20}} - {\beta ^{20}} + 5\sqrt 2 ({\alpha ^{19}} - {\beta ^{19}}))} \over {{P_{18}}({\alpha ^{19}} - {\beta ^{19}} + 5\sqrt 2 ({\alpha ^{18}} - {\beta ^{18}}))}}$
${{{P_{17}}({\alpha ^{19}}(\alpha + 5\sqrt 2 ) - {\beta ^{19}}(\beta + 5\sqrt 2 ))} \over {{P_{18}}({\alpha ^{18}}(\alpha + 5\sqrt 2 ) - {\beta ^{18}}(\beta + 5\sqrt 2 ))}}$
Since, $\alpha + 5\sqrt 2 = - 10/\alpha $ ..... (1)
& $\beta + 5\sqrt 2 = - 10/\beta $ ....... (2)
Now, put there values in above expression $ = - {{10{P_{17}}{P_{18}}} \over { - 10{P_{18}}{P_{17}}}} = 1$
& ${P_n} = {\alpha ^n} - {\beta ^n}$ (Given)
Now, ${{{{P_{17}}{P_{20}} + 5\sqrt 2 {P_{17}}{P_{19}}} \over {{P_{18}}{P_{19}} + 5\sqrt 2 P_{18}^2}}}$ = ${{{{P_{17}}({P_{20}} + 5\sqrt 2 {P_{19}})} \over {{P_{18}}({P_{19}} + 5\sqrt 2 P_{18}^{})}}}$
${{{P_{17}}({\alpha ^{20}} - {\beta ^{20}} + 5\sqrt 2 ({\alpha ^{19}} - {\beta ^{19}}))} \over {{P_{18}}({\alpha ^{19}} - {\beta ^{19}} + 5\sqrt 2 ({\alpha ^{18}} - {\beta ^{18}}))}}$
${{{P_{17}}({\alpha ^{19}}(\alpha + 5\sqrt 2 ) - {\beta ^{19}}(\beta + 5\sqrt 2 ))} \over {{P_{18}}({\alpha ^{18}}(\alpha + 5\sqrt 2 ) - {\beta ^{18}}(\beta + 5\sqrt 2 ))}}$
Since, $\alpha + 5\sqrt 2 = - 10/\alpha $ ..... (1)
& $\beta + 5\sqrt 2 = - 10/\beta $ ....... (2)
Now, put there values in above expression $ = - {{10{P_{17}}{P_{18}}} \over { - 10{P_{18}}{P_{17}}}} = 1$

Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be two real numbers such that $\alpha$ + $\beta$ = 1 and $\alpha$$\beta$ = $-$1. Let pn = ($\alpha$)n + ($\beta$)n, pn$-$1 = 11 and pn+1 = 29 for some integer n $ \ge $ 1. Then, the value of p$_n^2$ is ___________.
Correct Answer: 324
Explanation:
Given, $\alpha$ + $\beta$ = 1, $\alpha$$\beta$ = $-$ 1
$ \therefore $ Quadratic equation with roots $\alpha$, $\beta$ is x2 $-$ x $-$ 1 = 0
$ \Rightarrow $ $\alpha$2 = $\alpha$ + 1
Multiplying both sides by $\alpha$n$-$1
$\alpha$n$+$1 = $\alpha$n + $\alpha$n$-$1 ......(1)
Similarly,
$\beta$n + 1 = $\beta$n + $\beta$n + 1 ..... (2)
Adding (1) & (2)
${\alpha ^{n + 1}} + {\beta ^{n + 1}} = ({\alpha ^n} + {\beta ^n}) + ({\alpha ^{n - 1}} + {\beta ^{n - 1}})$
$ \Rightarrow $ Pn+1 = Pn + Pn$-$1
$ \Rightarrow $ 29 = Pn + 11 (Given, Pn + 1 = 29, Pn $-$ 1 = 11)
$ \Rightarrow $ Pn = 18
$ \therefore $ $P_n^2$ = 182 = 324
$ \therefore $ Quadratic equation with roots $\alpha$, $\beta$ is x2 $-$ x $-$ 1 = 0
$ \Rightarrow $ $\alpha$2 = $\alpha$ + 1
Multiplying both sides by $\alpha$n$-$1
$\alpha$n$+$1 = $\alpha$n + $\alpha$n$-$1 ......(1)
Similarly,
$\beta$n + 1 = $\beta$n + $\beta$n + 1 ..... (2)
Adding (1) & (2)
${\alpha ^{n + 1}} + {\beta ^{n + 1}} = ({\alpha ^n} + {\beta ^n}) + ({\alpha ^{n - 1}} + {\beta ^{n - 1}})$
$ \Rightarrow $ Pn+1 = Pn + Pn$-$1
$ \Rightarrow $ 29 = Pn + 11 (Given, Pn + 1 = 29, Pn $-$ 1 = 11)
$ \Rightarrow $ Pn = 18
$ \therefore $ $P_n^2$ = 182 = 324

The number of the real roots of the equation ${(x + 1)^2} + |x - 5| = {{27} \over 4}$ is ________.
Correct Answer: 2
Explanation:
When $x > 5$
${(x + 1)^2} + (x - 5) = {{27} \over 4}$
$ \Rightarrow {x^2} + 3x - 4 = {{27} \over 4}$
$ \Rightarrow {x^2} + 3x - {{43} \over 4} = 0$
$ \Rightarrow 4{x^2} + 12x - 43 = 0$
$x = {{ - 12 \pm \sqrt {144 + 688} } \over 8}$
$x = {{ - 12 \pm \sqrt {832} } \over 8} = {{ - 12 \pm 28.8} \over 8}$
$ = {{ - 3 + 7.2} \over 2}$
$ = {{ - 3 + 7.2} \over 2},{{ - 3 - 7.2} \over 2}$
= 2.1, -5.1 [ both are rejected as x should be > 5 ]
(Therefore no solution)
For $x \le 5$
${(x + 1)^2} - (x - 5) = {{27} \over 4}$
${x^2} + x + 6 - {{27} \over 4} = 0$
$4{x^2} + 4x - 3 = 0$
$x = {{ - 4 \pm \sqrt {16 + 48} } \over 8}$
$x = {{ - 4 \pm 8} \over 8} \Rightarrow x = - {{12} \over 8},{4 \over 8}$
$ \therefore $ So, the equation have two real roots.
${(x + 1)^2} + (x - 5) = {{27} \over 4}$
$ \Rightarrow {x^2} + 3x - 4 = {{27} \over 4}$
$ \Rightarrow {x^2} + 3x - {{43} \over 4} = 0$
$ \Rightarrow 4{x^2} + 12x - 43 = 0$
$x = {{ - 12 \pm \sqrt {144 + 688} } \over 8}$
$x = {{ - 12 \pm \sqrt {832} } \over 8} = {{ - 12 \pm 28.8} \over 8}$
$ = {{ - 3 + 7.2} \over 2}$
$ = {{ - 3 + 7.2} \over 2},{{ - 3 - 7.2} \over 2}$
= 2.1, -5.1 [ both are rejected as x should be > 5 ]
(Therefore no solution)
For $x \le 5$
${(x + 1)^2} - (x - 5) = {{27} \over 4}$
${x^2} + x + 6 - {{27} \over 4} = 0$
$4{x^2} + 4x - 3 = 0$
$x = {{ - 4 \pm \sqrt {16 + 48} } \over 8}$
$x = {{ - 4 \pm 8} \over 8} \Rightarrow x = - {{12} \over 8},{4 \over 8}$
$ \therefore $ So, the equation have two real roots.

2x2 + (a – 10)x + ${{33} \over 2}$ = 2a has real roots is
Correct Answer: 8
Explanation:
For real roots Discriminate $ \ge $ 0.
(a – 10)2 – 4$\left( {{{33} \over 2} - 2a} \right).2$ $ \ge $ 0
$ \Rightarrow $ a2 + 100 – 20a – 132 + 16a $ \ge $ 0
$ \Rightarrow $ a 2 – 4a – 32 $ \ge $ 0
$ \Rightarrow $ (a – 8) (a + 4) $ \ge $ 0
$ \Rightarrow $ a $ \le $ -4 $ \cup $ a $ \ge $ 8
$ \therefore $ least positive a = 8
(a – 10)2 – 4$\left( {{{33} \over 2} - 2a} \right).2$ $ \ge $ 0
$ \Rightarrow $ a2 + 100 – 20a – 132 + 16a $ \ge $ 0
$ \Rightarrow $ a 2 – 4a – 32 $ \ge $ 0
$ \Rightarrow $ (a – 8) (a + 4) $ \ge $ 0
