In the expansion of (a2 x2 + 2bx +c)n
the sum of the coefficients = (a2 + 2b +c)n
Let f() = a2 + 2b +c
Its discriminant = 4b2 4ac = 4(b2 ac ) < 0
Hence, f() < 0 or f() > 0 for all R
If a > 0 then f() > 0 (a2 + 2b + c)n > 0
If c > 0 i.e. f(0) > 0 f() > 0 (a2 + 2b + c)n > 0
If a < 0 then f() < 0 (a2 + 2b + c)n < 0 if n is odd
If c < 0 i.e. f(0) < 0 f() < 0 (a2 + 2b + c)n > 0 if n is even.

The first digit can be chosen in 9 ways( other than zero), the second can be chosen in 9 ways (any

Two distinct odd digits for the second and fourth places can be selected in 4C2 = 6 ways (since we
cannot take 1, as first digit will be at least 2). Now these can be arranged in increasing order in one
way only. Similarly two distinct even digits for the first and third places can be selected in 4C2 = 6
ways (since we cannot take 0). Now these can be arranged in increasing order in one way only.
Now total number of ways of filling the four places is 6 6 = 36.
But this contains the numbers of the type 6385 which are not needed. So number of such numbers
will be less than 36.

Now given equation would have a integral soluton if D is a perfect square .
Let D = ( 2 +1)2 n = +2 = ( +1) = even number
n can be 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, 42, 56, 72, 90.

Also, xy z2 =1 2y y2 z2 = 1 z2 + (y 1)2 = 0

Let m be a positive integer for which n2 + 96 = m2
m2 n2 = 96 (m + n)(m n) = 96
(m + n) {(m + n) 2n} = 96
m + n and m n must be both even
96 = 2 48 or 4 24 or 6 16 or 8 12
Number of solution = 4.

Discriminant of 3x2 + 8x +15 = 0 is negative. So, the roots are imaginary and therefore
conjugate of each other .
So, both roots are common.

74. (A), (B)

x can not be odd integer for if x is odd, x2 is odd but 2px + 2q is even;
so x2+2 px + 2q 0
x can not be even integer for if x is even, x2 +2 px is a multiple of 4 but 2q is not.
So x2 + 2px + 2q 0
Also (x +p)2 = p2 2q
If x is fraction then (x +p)2 is also a fraction but p 2 2q is an integer. So, roots cannot be integer
or rational numbers.

acosx = 3 2 2 -1 y = loga(3 2 2 )
cosx = loga(3 2 2 )
since a > 1 , for all the roots to be real,
we must have loga(3 + 2 2 ) 1 and loga(3 - 2 2 ) -1,
Both are true for a 3 + 2 2 .
