13. C
Sol. x2 + ax + b = 0 …(i)
x2 + bx + a = 0 …(ii)
Let’s say common root = K
 K2 + aK + b = 0 …(iii)
 K2 + bK + a = 0 …(iv)
Now (iii) – (iv)
 aK – bK = a – b
 K (a – b) = a – b
K=1
 by equation (iii) 1 + a + b = 0
 a + b = 1

14. C
Sol. dividend = divisor × quotient + remainder
x51 = (x2 – 3x + 2) × q(x) + ax + b
 x51 = (x – 1) (x – 2) × q(x) + ax + b
At x = 1
1=a+b …(i)
and at x = 2
251 = 2a + b …(ii)
Now (ii) – (i)
 251 – 1 = a
 by equation (i)
1 = 251 – 1 + b  b = 2 – 251
 Remainder = ax + b
= (251 – 1) x + (2 – 251)

G
Construction : AE is median, AF is altitude, CG is parallel to AB

As AD is angle bisector
AB BD
 …(i) (angle bisector theorem)
AC DC
As D lies to left of E, so BD < DC
On putting inequality in equation (i)
AC > AB
And hence B > C
A + B + C = 180°  A + 2C < 180° (by using inequality)

A  90 – C
2
From figure 90 – C = FAC

A = DAC

DAC < FAC
So F must lie left of D

In AGC, AE is median  AB + AC > 2AE > 2AD
