According to question , we have
The roots α, β of the equation : x2 − 6x + k = 0
On comparing with ax2 + bx + c = 0 , we get a = 1 , b = - 6 , c = k
Now , α + β = ( -b/a ) = 6Correct Option: A
According to question , we have
The roots α, β of the equation : x2 − 6x + k = 0
On comparing with ax2 + bx + c = 0 , we get a = 1 , b = - 6 , c = k
Now , α + β = ( - b/a ) = 6
α + β = 6 and 3α + 2β = 20
On solving ,
⇒ α = 4, β = 2
Product of the roots = k
So, k = αβ = 4 × 2 = 8.
Hence , required answer will be option A .

According to question , we can say that
Let, the roots be 3α and 2α .Then, 3α + 2α = m ⇒ α = m 12 60 ∴ 5 = m 2 ⇔ 5 = m2 72 60 72 3600 ⇔ m2 = 3600 x 5 = 250 72
Correct Option: A
According to question , we can say that
Let, the roots be 3α and 2α .Then, 3α + 2α = m ⇒ α = m 12 60 ∴ 5 = m 2 ⇔ 5 = m2 72 60 72 3600 ⇔ m2 = 3600 x 5 = 250 72
∴ m = √250 = 5√10.
Thus , The positive value of m is 5√10.

As per the given above question , we know that
Let, α, β be the roots of the equation x2 + kx + 12 = 0
∴ α + β = − k and αβ = 12
Now ( α - β )2 = ( α + β )2 - 4αβ
( 1 )2 = k2 - 4(12)Correct Option: D
As per the given above question , we know that
Let, α, β be the roots of the equation x2 + kx + 12 = 0
∴ α + β = −k and αβ = 12
Now ( α - β )2 = ( α + β )2 - 4αβ
( 1 )2 = k2 - 4(12)
⇒ k2 = 49 ⇒ k = ± 7.
- Determine k such that the quadratic equation x2 - 2( 1 + 3k ) x + 7 ( 3 + 2k ) = 0 has equal roots.

According to question ,
On Comparing x2 - 2( 1 + 3k )x + 7 ( 3 + 2k ) = 0 with ax2 + bx + c = 0, we get
a = 1, b = - 2 ( 1 + 3k ), c = 7( 3 + 2k )
For equal roots D = b2 - 4ac = 0
∴ 4( 1 + 3k )2 - 4 x 1 x 7( 3 + 2k ) = 0
⇒ 4( 1 + 9k2 + 6k ) - 84 - 56k = 0
⇒ 4 + 36k2 + 24k - 56k - 84 = 0
⇒ 36k2 - 32k - 80 = 0
⇒ 9k2 - 8k - 20 = 0Correct Option: A

⇒ 9k2 - 8k - 20 = 0
By shridharachary method ,
Here , A = 9 , B = -8 , C = -20k = -B ± √B2 - 4AC 2A k = 8 ± √64 - 4(9) ( - 20 ) 2 x 9
Taking +ve and -ve sign respectively , we getk = 8 ± √784 = 8 ± 28 18 18 k = 36 , - 20 = 2, - 10 18 18 9
