KVPY2017MathematicsQuadratic Equation
Let a, b, c, d be real numbers between -5 and 5 such that |a|= 4- 5-a ,|b|= 4+ 5-b , |c|= 4- 5+c ,|d|= 4+ 5+d Then the product abcd is
Options
- A11
- B-11
- C121 ,
- D-121
Correct answer
A. 11
Step-by-step solution
Given | a |= 4- 5- a squaring array c a²=4- 5-a a⁴+16-8 a²=5-a a⁴-8 a²+a+11=0 array Sirnilarly squaring other given equations & solving we can say that a, b,-c,-d are roots of x⁴-8 x²+x+11=0 product of roots a b(-c)(-d)=11 abcd =11
