Column I Column II

A) The least positive integral value of for which P) 3

, for all real is

B) The equation Q) 5

possesses roots of opposite signs, then the value of 'a' can be

C) If the equation has no real roots andR) 7

, then the integral value of can be equal to

D) If be the number of solutions of the equation S) 12

, then the value of is

T) 20

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

A) If , then .

This implies , so or .

Therefore, the least positive integral value of is 5.

B) If roots are of opposite signs, then .

This means , so can be 7.

The equation is .

The discriminant .

Therefore, the roots are real.

C) Let .

Clearly, .

Since for all , it implies , so .

Thus, .

D) Given .

This can be written as .

 

This leads to:
