If, for a positive integern, the quadratic equation,

xx+1+x+1x+2+...+x+n-1¯x+n=10n

has two consecutive integral solutions, thennis equal to:

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

On simplifying we get the quadratic equations as
x2+x2+...+x2n times+1+3+5+...+2n-1x+1.2+2.3+...+n-1n=10n
nx2+n2x+nn2-13=10n

x2+nx+n2-313=0

Let, α, β are the roots of the above equation

 α+β=-n, αβ=n2-313

Now, the difference of roots α-β =1

 α-β2=1

α+β2-4αβ=1

n2-43n2-31=1

n2=121

n=11
