The probability of choosing randomly a number c from the set 1,2,3, , 9 such that the quadratic equation x^2+4 x+c=0 has real roots is
Options
- A1 9
- B2 9
- C3 9
- D4 9
Correct answer
D. 4 9
Step-by-step solution
Given, x^2+4 x+c=0 For real roots, aligned D & =b^2-4 a c 0 & =16-4 c 0 aligned c=1,2,3,4 will satisfy the above inequality. Required probability = 4 9
