Given, one root of x2 - 6kx + 5 = 0 is 5.
∴ x = 5 satisfies x2 - 6kx + 5 = 0Correct Option: C
Given, one root of x2 - 6kx + 5 = 0 is 5.
∴ x = 5 satisfies x2 - 6kx + 5 = 0
⇒ 52 - 30k + 5 = 0
⇒ 25 - 30k + 5 = 0
⇒ 30 - 30k = 0
⇒ 30k = 30
∴ k = 1

2x2 -11x + 15 = 0
[by factorisation method]
⇒ 2x2 - (6x + 5x) + 15 = 0Correct Option: A
2x2 -11x + 15 = 0
[by factorisation method]
⇒ 2x2 - (6x + 5x) + 15 = 0
⇒ 2x2 - 6x - 5x + 15 = 0
⇒ 2x(x - 3) - 5 (x - 3) = 0
⇒ (2x - 5) (x - 3) = 0
∴ x = 5/2, 3
Hence, the roots are 5/2 and 3.
- If [a + (1/a)]2 = 3 , what is the value of a3 + (1/a)3 ?

View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum
[a + (1/a)]2 = 3
Taking square roots both sides, we get
a + (1/a) = √3
On cubing both sides, we
[a + (1/a)]3 = (√3)3Correct Option: B
[a + (1/a)]2 = 3
Taking square roots both sides, we get
a + (1/a) = √3
On cubing both sides, we
[a + (1/a)]3 = (√3)3
⇒ a3 + 1/a3 + 3.a.1/[a(a + 1/a)] = 3 √3
⇒ a3 + 1/a3 + 3√3 = 3√3
∴ a3 + 1/a3 = 0
- If 2x2 - 7xy + 3y2 = 0, then the value of x : y is

View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum
2x2 - 7xy + 3y2 = 0
⇒ 2x2 - 6xy - xy + 3y2 = 0
⇒ 2x(x - 3y) - y(x - 3y) = 0
⇒ (2x - y) (x - 3y) = 0Correct Option: C
2x2 - 7xy + 3y2 = 0
⇒ 2x2 - 6xy - xy + 3y2 = 0
⇒ 2x(x - 3y) - y(x - 3y) = 0
⇒ (2x - y) (x - 3y) = 0
Either, 2x - y = 0 ⇒ 2x = y
⇒ x/y = 1/2
or x - 3y = 0
⇒ x = 3y ⇒ x/y = 3/1

Given quadric equation is
x2 + x/b + 1/c = 0 ...(i)
Now, by condition the roots of the Eq.(i) are α and 1/α.
Now,product of roots = (1/c) / (1/a)
⇒ α.(1/α) = a/cCorrect Option: D
