5. (c) k = 4
Put x = 2 in f(x), we get
Explanation: Given, x2 + 4x + k = 0

f(2) = 22 + 3(2) + k
0=4+6+k Here, a = 1, b = 4 and c = k
As we know that D = b2 – 4ac
0 = 10 + k
Putting the value of a, b and c we get
k = –10 D = (4)2 – 4 × 1 × k
Therefore, the value of k is –10. = 16 – 4k
The given equation will have real and equal

(x + 1)2 – [(x + 2)2 – (x)2] = 60
(x + 1)2 – [x2 + 4 + 4x – x2] = 60 According to Pythagoras theorem,

x2 – 2x – 63 = 0 = (49 – AC)2 + 49

x – 9x + 7x – 63 = 0 = 2401 – 98 AC + AC2 + 49
x(x – 9) + 7 (x – 9) = 0 Solving, we get, 98AC = 2450
(x + 7) (x – 9) = 0 AC = 25 m

Thus, the height of each pole is 20 3 metres.

Let ‘a’ be the first term and ‘d’ be the common

and XP = 3 × 20 3 , i.e. 60 metres. Let the A.P. contains ‘n’ terms. Then
Thus, distance of the point from the two poles n
