Options
- A5
- B24
- C0
- DNone of these
Correct answer
D. None of these
Step-by-step solution
Given, 2|x|^2+51=|1+20 x| Then, following two possible cases aris 9 : Casel When 1+20 x 0 array lr & x - 1 20 & 2 x^2+51=(1+20 x) & 2 x^2-20 x+50=0 array x^2-10 x+25=0 [ 2 0] (x-5)^2=0 x=5,5 Case II When 1+20 x 0 array lc & x - 1 20 & 2 x^2+51=-(1+20 x) & 2 x^2-20 x+52=0 & x^2-10 x+26=0 array Here, D 0 Thus, roots are-imaginary. Hence, sum of real roots =5+5=10
