Exercise 4.1
Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)
Question1. Which of the following is a quadratic equation?
Solution: (d)
Explanation:
An equation which is of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0, a ≠ 0 is called a quadratic equation.
⟹ x3 - x2 = x3 -3x2 + 3x - 1
⟹-x2 + 3x2 - 3x + 1 = 0
⟹ 2x2 - 3x + 1 = 0
This equation is not of the form ax2+ bx + c, a ≠ 0. Thus, the equation is a quadratic equation.
Question2. Which of the following is not a quadratic equation?
This equation is not of the form ax2 + bx + c, a ≠ 0.
Thus, the equation is not quadratic.
Question3. Which of the following equations has 2 as a root?
(a) x2 -4x + 5 = 0
(b) x2 + 3x -12 = 0
(c) 2x2 -7x + 6 = 0
(d) 3x2 - 6x -2 = 0
Solution: (c)
Explanation:
If k is one of the root of any quadratic equation then x = k
i.e., k satisfies the equation ak2 + bk + c = 0.
i.e., f(k) = ak2 + bk + c = 0,
(a) Putting x = 2 in x2 - 4x + 5, we get
(2)2 - 4(2) + 5 = 4 - 8 + 5 = 1≠0.
So, x = 2 is not a root of x2 - 4x + 5 = 0.
(b) Putting x = 2 in x2 + 3x - 12, we get
(2)2 + 3(2) - 12 = 4 + 6 – 12 = –2 ≠ 0
So, x = 2 is not a root of x2 + 3x – 12 ≠ 0.
(c) Putting x = 2 in 2x2 – 7x + 6, we get
2(2)2 – 7(2) + 6 = 2 (4) – 14+ 6 = 8 – 14 + 6 = 14 – 14 = 0
So, x = 2 is root of the equation 2x2 – 7x + 6 = 0.
(d) Putting x = 2 in 3x2 –6x –2, we get
3(2)2 –6(2) –2 = 12 –12 –2 = –2 ≠ 0
So, x = 2 is not a root of 3x2 – 6x –2 = 0.
⟹ k = 2
Question5. Which of the following equations has the sum of its roots as 3?
So, option (b) is correct.
Question6. Value(s) of k for which the quadratic equation 2x2 –kx + k = 0 has equal roots is/are
(a) 0
(b) 4
(c) 8
(d) 0, 8
Solution: (d)
Explanation:
For a quadratic equation of the form, ax2 + bx + c = 0, a ≠ 0 to have two equal real roots, its discriminant must be equal to zero, i.e., D = b2 –4ac = 0
Given equation is 2x2 – kx + k = 0
On comparing with ax2 + bx + c = 0, we get
a = 2, b = – k and c = k
For equal roots, the discriminant must be zero.
i.e., D = b2 – 4ac = 0
⟹ (– k)2 – 4 (2) k = 0
⟹ k2 – 8k = 0
⟹ k (k – 8) = 0
Thus, k = 0, 8
Hence, the required values of k are 0 and 8.

Question10. Which of the following equations has no real roots?
Hence, the equation has two distinct real roots.
Question11. (x2 + l)2 – x2 = 0 has
(a) four real roots
(b) two real roots
(c) no real roots
(d) one real root
Solution: (c)
