Ans : (a) ^x + 2h, ^x - 2h, ^x2 + 3h Ans : (c) (5 - 2x)
We can find two numbers p and q such that q + p = - 1
and pq = - 12 . 7. Degree of the polynomial p ^x h = 3x 4 + 6x + 7 is

The highest power of the variable x is 4. So, the
degree of the polynomial is 4.

Ans : P - 4, Q - 3, R - 2, S - 1 (R) p ^x h = 2x2 + kx + 3
(P) The highest power of the variable is 8. So, the p ^1 h = 2 ^1 h2 + k ^1 h + 3 = 2 + k + 3 = k + 5
degree of the polynomial is 8. Now, p ^1 h = 0
(Q) The only term here is 2 which can be written as k + 5 = 0 & k =- 5
2x0 . So, the exponent of x is 0. Therefore, the
degree of the polynomial is 0. (S) p ^x h = 3kx2 - 2x+1
(R) The highest power of the variable is 1. So, the p ^1 h = 3k ^1 h -2
2 ^1 h + 1 = 3k - 2 +1
degree of the polynomial is 1.
Now, p ^1 h = 0 , & 3k - 2 +1 = 0
(S) The highest power of the variable is 2. So, the
degree of the polynomial is 2. k = 2 -1

7. Assertion : If (x + 1) is a factor of f (x) = x2 + ax + 2,

then a = - 3 .
Reason : If (x - a) is a factor of p (x), if p (a) = 0 .
Ans : (d) Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.

8. Assertion : If f (x) = x 4 + x3 - 2x2 + x + 1 is divided by

(x - 1), then its remainder is 2.
Reason : If p (x) be a polynomial of degree greater
than or equal to one, divided by the linear polynomial
x - a , then the remainder is p (- a).
Ans : (c) Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.

9. Assertion : The degree of the polynomial

^x - 2h^x - 3h^x + 4h is 4.
Reason : The number of zeroes of a polynomial is the
degree of that polynomial.
Ans : (d) Assertion is false but reason is true.

p ^x h = ^x - 2h^x - 3h^x + 4h
= ^x - 2h6x2 + 4x - 3x - 12@
= ^x - 2h^x2 + x - 12h
= x3 + x2 - 12x - 2x2 - 2x + 24
p ^x h = x3 - x2 - 14x + 24
So, degree of p ^x h = 3

10. Assertion : If p (x) = ax + b , a ! 0 is a linear

polynomial, then x = - b is the only zero of p (x).
a
Reason : A linear polynomial has one and only one
zero.
Ans : (a) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and
Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
