1. (c) We have, IV. (x + y + z )3 = 27xyz ∴(Area of ∆ACX) (Area of ∆ABY )
f (x) = x2 + ax + 2 and g (x) = x2 + 2x + a x= y=z 1 1
= (AX ) (AC ) sin A × (AY )(AB ) sin A
Let α be the common root of f (x) = 0 and Then, (3x)3 = 27x3 2 2
g (x) = 0. 1 1
Hence option (iv) is also true. = (AX )(AY ) sin A × (AB )(AC ) sin A
∴ α 2 + aα + 2 = 0 2 2

n (1 + 2 + ... + 99), = 210 × 35 × 52 × 7 × 11 × 13
2 R is reflection of P on AC
24k = (23 × 3)k
n × 11 × 9 × 2 × 25 ∴ ∠RAC = ∠PAC
When 13! is divide by 24k
= (3)2 × (5)2 × 2 × 11 × n is a perfect square ∠QAR = 180°
210 × 35 × 52 × 7 × 11 × 13
∴ n must be 22. ∴ ∴2 (∠PAB + ∠PAC ) = 180°
23 k ⋅ 3k ∠PAB + ∠PAC = 90°
∴ n 2 = (22)2 = 484
= 210 − 3 k ⋅ 35 − k ⋅ 52 × 7 × 11 × 13 ⇒ ∠BAC = 90°
Number of digit of n 2 is 3.

roots of Eq. (i). AB = BC = 12 units
⇒ b2 + h 2 = 402 M is mid-point of AB,
∴α + 1 + β + 1 = − a and (α + 1)(β + 1) = b
⇒ l2 + b2 = 412 N is mid-point of CD,
α + β + 2 = − a and αβ + α + β + 1 = b
⇒ 2(l + b + h 2 ) = 392 + 402 + 412

P is point of MN and CP = S
⇒ − b + 2 = − a and a − b + 1 = b
⇒ l2 + b2 + h 2 = 2401 Q APB is an isosceles triangle,
⇒ b − a = 2 and 2b − a = 1
∴Length of longest diagonal ∴ AP = PB = r
On solving these equations, we get
a = − 3, b = − 1, = l2 + b2 + h 2 OP = MB = 6 units
∴ a + b = − 3 − 1=− 4 = 2401 = 49 P

∴ 94a + 4b − 5c = 0 On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
Clearly, a > 0. No solution x = 16, y = 9
∴ a = 0 then 4b = 5c Hence, number of square tiles in box is 9. Now, OA = OC
This is possible only ∆OAC is an equilateral
