(1) intersect only at a point
(2) intersect in a line
(3) coincides with each other
(4) do not intersect
(4) do not intersect

Question 2.
The solution of the system x + y -3z = -6, -7y + 7z = 7,3z = 9 is
(1) x = 1, y = 2, z = 3
(2) x = -1, y = 2, z = 3
(3) x = -1, y = -2, z = 3
(4) x = 1, y = 2, z = 3
Solution:
(4) x = 1, y = 2, z = 3
Hint:
x + y – 3z = -6
-7y + 7z = 7
3z = 9
z = 3
-7y + 21 = 7
-7y = -14
y = 2
x + 2 -3 × 3 = -6
x + 2 – 9 = -6 .
x = -6 + 7 = 1

Question 3.
If (x – 6) is the HCF of x2 – 2x – 24 and x2 – kx – 6 then the value of k is ……………..
(1) 3
(2) 5
(3) 6
(4) 8
(2) 5
Hint.
HCF = x – 6
p(x) = x2 – 2x – 24
= (x – 6) (x + 4)
g(x) = x2 – kx – 6
∴ x – 6 is the common factor.
g (6) = 62 – k(6) – 6
= 36 – 6k – 6
= 30 – 6k
g(6) = 0
30 – 6k = 0
30 = 6k ⇒ k = $$\frac { 30 }{ 6 }$$ = 5
The value of k = 5

(1) -1
(2) 2
(3) -1, 2
(4) None of these
(3) -1, 2
Hint.
(2x – 1)2 = 9 ⇒ (2x – 1) = $$\sqrt { 9 }$$
2x – 1 = ± 3 ⇒ 2x – 1 = 3 or 2x – 1 = 3
2x – 1 = 3
2x = 4 ⇒ x = $$\frac { 4 }{ 2 }$$ = 2
2x – 1 = -3 ⇒ 2x = -3 + 1
x = -1

Question 10.
The values of a and b if 4x4 – 24x3 + 76x2 + ax + b is a perfect square are ………..
(1) 100,120
(2) 10,12
(3) -120,100
(4) 12,10
(3) -120,100
Hint.
Since it is a perfect square
a + 120 = 0
a = -120
b – 100 = 0
b = 100

Question 11.
If the roots of the equation q2x2 + p2x + r2 = 0 are the squares of the roots of the equation qx2 + px + r = 0 , then q,p,r are in ……………..
(1) A.P.
(2) G.P.
(3) Both A.P and G.P
(4) none of these
(2) G.P.
Hint.
q2x2 + p2x + r2 = 0
Let the roots be α2 + β2
α2 + β2 = $$\frac{-p^{2}}{q^{2}}$$
α2β2 = $$\frac{r^{2}}{q^{2}}$$
qx2 + px + r = 0
Let the root be α and β

(2) 1
(3) 0 or 1
(4) 2
(2) 1
Hint:
(x + 2)2 = 0 ⇒ (x + 2) (x + 2) = 0
x + 2 = 0 or x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = -2 or x = -2
Number of points of intersection is 1 (both the values are same)
