Published on: August 13, 2026

Match the following columns :

Column-I

Column-II

(i) If ax2 + bx + 6 = 0 does

not have two distinct    real

roots where aR, bR.

then least value of 3a + b is

[A] 4

(ii) The number of solutions

of | [x] – 2x | = 4 where []

is greatest    integer value  x

[B] 42

(iii) The arithmetic    mean of

two    positive numbers is 6

and their geometric mean G &

harmonic mean H satisfy

relation G2 + 3H = 48, then

product of two numbers is    

[C] –2

(iv) If a1, a2, a3 …a21 are in

A.P.         and a3 + a5 + a11 +

a17 + a19 = 10         then the

value of ai    is

[D] 32

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
(i) [C]; (ii) [A]; (iii) [D]; (iv) [B]; (i) [x]

Ans.

(i) [C]

(ii) [A]

(iii) [D]

(iv) [B]

Sol. (i) D ≤ ≤ 0

Now f(0) = 6 > 0

∴ f(x) ≥ ≥ 0 ∀ x ∈ R

∴ f(3) ≥ 0

9a + 3b + 6 ≥ 0

3a + b ≥ – 2

(ii) case(i) [x] –2x = 4

⇒ – [x] –2 {x} = 4

= {x}

∴ 0 ≤ – [x] – 4 < 2

4 ≤ – [x] < 6

⇒ –6 < [x] ≤ – 4

∴ [x] = – 5, or – 4

∴ {x} = if [x] = – 5

{x} = 0 if [x] = – 4

∴ x = or – 4

case (ii)

If [x] –2x = – 4

– [x] –2{x}= – 4

[x] + 2 {x} = 4

0 ≤ 4 – [x] < 2

⇒ 2 < [x] ≤ 4

[x] = 3 or 4

∴ {x} = when [x] = 3

= 0 when [x] = 4

∴ x = or 4

(iii) ∴ ⇒ a + b = 12 …..(i)

Also ab + = 48 ..… (ii)

from (i) & (ii)

ab = 32

(iv) (a 1 + 2d) + (a 1 + 4d) + (a 1 + 10d) …+ (a 1 + 18d) = 10

⇒ 5(a 1 + 10d) = 10

⇒ a 1 + 10d = 2 ……(i)

Now = a 1 + a 2 + a 3 …….. + a 21

= [a 1 + a 21 ]

= 21 (a 1 + 10d)

= 42
