Question diagram: The number of integral values of k , for which one root of t

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Let f(x)=2x2-8x+k=0

 

f(1)>0

f(2)<0

f(3)>0

Now, f(1)>02-8+k>0k>6 ......(1)

f(2)<08-16+k<0k<8 ......(2)

f(3)>018-24+k>0k>6 ......(3)

From equations 1, 2 & 3,

k(6,8)

 Integral value of k=7

Therefore number of integral value of k is one
