(x – 2) is a factor of polynomial P (x) = x3 + x2 – 5x + λ.
∴ P(2) = 0 (i.e., on putting x = 2)
⇒ 23 + 22 – 5 × 2 + λ = 0
⇒ 8 + 4 – 10 + λ = 0
⇒ λ + 2 = 0
⇒ λ = –2Correct Option: B

We have to find such numbers which are divisible by 12 (LCM of 4 and 6).
Number of numbers divisible by 12 and lying between 1 to 600= 600 − 1 = 49 12
Number of numbers divisible by12 from 1 to 100 = 100 = 8 12
∴ Required answer
= 49 – 8 = 41Correct Option: C
