1. D
is common root
 it will satisfy both equation
Hence 2 – 3+ 2 = 0 ...(i)

5. A
According to the given condition,
sin + sin = –a and cos + cos = –c.
   
2 sin cos =–a

   
& 2 cos cos = –c

Hence (A) is the correct answer.

6. D
Given roots of eqn.
ax2 + 2(a + b)x + (a + 2b + c) = 0

a2 + b2 + 2ab – a2 – 2ab – ac < 0
 b2  ac  0 ...(i)
Now, ax2 + 2bx + c = 0
Here, = 4b2 – 4ac = 4(b2 – ac) < 0
Roots are imaginary.

8. C
Clearly D 0 for both eqns.
(i) px2 + 2qx + r = 0 D 0
4q2 – 4pr 0

 q2  pr   ...(1)

(ii) qx2 – 2 pr x + q = 0 D  0

4 pr – 4q2 0

Subtracting the two equation we get the common root as x = – ( + ) substituting this in any
y
2
equation we get ( – )2 = 4 i.e. | – | = 2 now22 – 4 – | – | + | – | 2
= 22 – 4 + 22 – 2
= 2( – )2 – 2
= 2.4 – 2 = 8 – 2 = 6
