1. A
x2 – px + q = 0 ......(1)
x2 – rs + s = 0 ......(2)
tan  + tan  = p
tan  . tan  = q
cot  + cot  = r
cot  . cot  = s
rs = (cot  + cot ) . cot  . cot 
(tan   tan ) 1
 rs = .
tan  . tan  tan  . tan 

p 1 p
 rs = ×  rs = 2
q q q

2. A
x3 – 3x2 + 2x + k = 0
To make an equetion whose roots are  + 2,  + 2  + 2
Put y = x + 2
so new equation is
(y – 2)3 – (y – 2)2 + 2(y – 2) + k = 0
y3 – 9y2 + 26y – 24 + k = 0
 – (– 24 + k) = 8
k = 24 – 8 = 16.

3. D
 · 2 = a2  3 = a3
15
 + 2 =
4
 4a2 + 4a – 15 = 0  4a2 + 10a – 4a – 15 = 0
 (2a – 3) (2a + 5) = 0.

4. B
Equations have both common roots.

6. A
We have,
D = (c+a–b)2 – 4(b+c–a)(a+b–c)
= (a + b + c – 2b)2 –4(a+b+c–2a)(a+ b+c–2c)
= (–2b)2 – 4(–2a) (–2c) = 4(b2 – 4ac)
= 4[(–a –c)2 – 4ac] = 4(a – c)2
= {2(a – c)2} = perfect square
Therefore, roots are rational

7. B
Consider, x – 2 = 22/3 + 21/3
Cubing both sides, we get
(x – 2)3 = 22 + 2 + 3 · 22/3 · 21/3(21/3 + 22/3)
= 22 + 2 + 3.2(x – 2) ( x – 2 = 21/3 + 22/3)
= 6 + 6(x–2) or x3 – 6x2 + 12x – 8 = –6 + 6x
 x3 – 6x2 + 6x = 2.

8. B
Sum of two roots = 0
If  be the third root, then the sum of the roots = m
 0 +  = m   = m  m3 – m3 + 3m – 2 = 0
2
 3m – 2 = 0  m =
3

9. B
Given cubic
f(x) = (x – 1) (x – cos ) (x – sin )
roots are 1, sin and cos 
 x12  x 22  x 23  = 1 + sin2 + cos2= 2 Ans.


now if 1 = sin   =
2
if 1= cos    = 0, 2
and if sin  = cos   tan = 1
 5

10. C
 number of values of in [0, 2] is 5
