Consider the following statements :
I. x+\sqrt{x}+x+1=0hastwoirrationalroots.<br>II.5x−x−4=0has two irrational roots.<br>II. 5\sqrt{x}-x-4=0 has two rational roots.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

Options

  1. AI only
  2. BII only
  3. CBoth I and II
  4. DNeither I nor II

Correct answer

B. II only

Step-by-step solution

For Statement I:
Let y=xy = \sqrt{x}, where y≥0y \ge 0.
The equation becomes y2+y+1=0y^2 + y + 1 = 0.
The discriminant is Δ=12−4(1)(1)=−3<0\Delta = 1^2 - 4(1)(1) = -3 < 0.
Since the discriminant is negative, there are no real roots. Thus, Statement I is incorrect.

For Statement II:
Let y=xy = \sqrt{x}, where y≥0y \ge 0.
The equation becomes y2−5y+4=0y^2 - 5y + 4 = 0.
Factoring the quadratic gives (y−1)(y−4)=0⇒y=1(y - 1)(y - 4) = 0 \Rightarrow y = 1 or y=4y = 4.
Substituting y=xy = \sqrt{x}, we get x=1x = 1 or x=16x = 16.
Both 11 and 1616 are rational numbers. Thus, Statement II is correct.

Therefore, only Statement II is correct.

Answer: II only
