and given equation is
(a + b – 2c)x2 + (b + c – 2a) x + (c + a – 2b ) = 0 ... (ii)
∴ Equation (ii) has a root in the interval (– 1, 0)
∴ f(–1) f(0) < 0 ⇒ (2a – b – c) (c + a – 2b) < 0 ... (iii)
From (i), a > b ⇒ a – b > 0 and

From (iii) and (iv), c + a – 2b < 0 or c + a < 2b. Option (a) is correct. Again, the sum of

coefficients of the equation = 0, that is one root is 1 and the other root is which is a

⇒ (b) is correct. Further, the discriminant of equation ax2 + 2bx + c = 0 is D = 4b2 – 4ac.
As deduced earlier, c + a < 2b
⇒ 4b2 > (c + a)2 ⇒ 4b2 > c2 + a2 + 2ac

Let the means be x1, x2, ..... xm so that 1, x1, x2, .... xm, 31 is an A.P. of (m + 2) terms.
Now, 31 = Tm + 2 = a + (m + 1) d = 1 + (m + 1)d

⇒ 9a + 63d = 5a + (5m – 5) d ⇒ 4.1 = (5m – 68)

⇒ 2m + 2 = 75 m – 1020 ⇒ 73 m = 1022

66)

The powers of 9 form a GP with common ratio and we know, sum of G.P.
upto where 'a' is the first term and 'r' is the common ratio.
67)

For a G.P, am + n = p and am – n = q.

We know that an = ARn–1 (in G.P.)
where A = first term and R = common ratio
∴ am+n = p ⇒ ARm+n–1 = p ... (i)
and am–n = q ⇒ ARm–n–1 = q ... (ii)
On multiply equations (i) and (ii), we have

68)

69)

Let , a, ar term in G.P.

...(i)

⇒ (3r – 2) (2r – 3) = 0

70)

⇒ Integer values of x possible are 8.

71) are in A.P.

 ⇒ t = 8 or t = 4 ∴ x = 3 or x = 2 (not possible)
is only possible value.

72)

Applying condition for common root, we get

73)

Given sin (x) = cos2(x)

⇒ sin2x + sinx – 1 = 0

Only 4 roots.

ar4 = 2
a × ar × ar2 × ar3 × ar4 × ar5 × ar6 × ar7 × ar8
= a9 r36 = (ar4)9 = 29 = 512.

75)

3x2 + 2x + 7 = 0 ...(1)
ax2 + bx + c = 0 ...(2)
where a, b, c ∈ N, a > 4
since eq. (1), D < 0 Both roots are common

a = 3λ, b = 2λ, c = 7λ
