(a) four rational numbers

(2019 Main, 9 April I)

(b) two irrational and two rational numbers

(c) four irrational numbers

(d) two irrational and one rational number

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 4. (d)

Solution:

  1. The non-zero four degree polynomial f(x) has extremum points at x=1,0,1, so we can assume f(x)=a(x+1)(x0)(x1)=ax(x21)

where, a is non-zero constant.

f(x)=ax3ax

f(x)=a4x4a2x2+C

[integrating both sides]

where, C is constant of integration.

Now, since f(x)=f(0)

a4x4a2x2+C=Cx44=x22

x2(x22)=0x=2,0,2

Thus, f(x)=f(0) has one rational and two irrational roots.

Key Idea

(i) Use formula of volume of cylinder, V=πr2h where, r= radius and h= height

(ii) For maximum or minimum, put first derivative of V equal to zero

Let a sphere of radius 3 , which inscribed a right circular cylinder having radius r and height is h, so

From the figure, h2=3cosθ

h=6cosθ

and

r=3sinθ

Volume of cylinder V=πr2h =π(3sinθ)2(6cosθ)=54πsin2θcosθ. For maxima or minima, dVdθ=0

54π[2sinθcos2θsin3θ]=0

sinθ[2cos2θsin2θ]=0

tan2θ=2θ0,π2

tanθ=2

sinθ=23 and cosθ=13

From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

h=613=23
