41. If p(x) = axr + bx + c, then –ba is equal to

(a) 0
(b) 1
(c) product of zeroes
(d) sum of zeroes
Answer/Explanation
Answer: d
Explaination:
(d) Sum of zeroes = –ba
42. If p(x) = ax² + bx + c one zero is and a + b + c = 0, then one zero is
(a) −ba
(b) ca
(c) bc
(d) none of these
Answer/Explanation
Answer: b
Explaination:
p(1) = 0; a(1)² + b(1) + c = 0
⇒a+b+c=0
∴ one zero (α) = 1
αβ = product of zeroes = ca
⇒ 1.β = ca
⇒ β = ca
∴ zeroes are 1 and ca

43. If p{x) = ax2 + bx + one of the zeroes is c and a + c = b, then

Answer/Explanation
Answer: c
Explaination:
p(-1) = 0; a(-1)² + b(-1) + c = 0
⇒ a – b + C = 0,
∴ One zero (a) = -1
αα = product of zeroes = ca
⇒ (-1).β = ca
⇒ β = −ca
44. The number of polynomials having zeroes as -2 and 5 is [NCERT Exemplar Problems]
(a) 1
(b) 2
(c) 3
(d) more than 3
Answer/Explanation

have zeroes – 2 and 5.

45. Given that one of the zeroes of the cubic polynomial ax3 + bx2 + cx + d is zero, the product of
the other two zeroes is [NCERT Exemplar Problems]

Answer/Explanation
Answer: b
Explaination:
∵ αβ + βγ + γα = ca
Let, α = 0
So, 0 + βγ + 0 = ca
⇒ βγ= ca

46. If one of the zeroes of a quadratic polynomial of the form x² + ax + b is the negative of the
other, then it
(a) has no linear term and the constant term is negative.
(b) has no linear term and the constant term is positive.
(c) can have a linear term but the constant term is negative.
(d) can have a linear term but the constant term is positive.
Answer/Explanation
Answer: a
Explaination:
f(x) = x² + ax + b
Given: zeroes are α and – α
Sum of zeroes = α – α = 0
∴ f(x) = x² + b, which is not linear
Product of zeroes = α(-α) = – α² = b1
⇒ -α² = b
It is possible when, b < 0.
Hence, it has no linear term and the constant term is negative.

47. If 4x² – 6x – m is divisible by x – 3, the value of m is exact divisor of

(a) 9
(b) 45
(c) 20
(d) 36
Answer/Explanation
Answer: a
Explaination:
Here p(3) = 0
⇒ 4(3)² – 6 × 3-m = 0
⇒ 36 – 18 – m = 0
⇒ m=18
∴ Value of m is exactly divisible by 9.

48. Which one of the following statements is correct

(a) if x6 + 1 is divided by x + 1, then the remainder is -2.
(b) if x6 + 1 is divided by x – 1, then the remainder is 2.
(c) if x6 + 1 is divided by x + 1, then the remainder is 1.
(d) if x6 + 1 is divided by x – 1, then the remainder is -1.
Answer/Explanation
Answer: b
Explaination:
p(x) = x6 + 1
when divided by x – 1, then remainder = p(1)
∴ p(1) = 16 + 1 = 2

49. Consider the following statements

(i) x – 2 is a factor of x3 – 3x² + 4x – 4.
(ii) x + 1 is a factor of 2x3 + 4x + 6.
(iii) x – 1 is a factor of x5 + x4 – x3 + x² -x + 1.
In these statements
(a) 1 and 2 are correct
(b) 1, 2 and 3 are correct
(c) 2 and 3 are correct
(d) 1 and 3 are correct
Answer/Explanation
Answer: a
Explaination:
x – 2 is a factor of x3 – 3x² + 4x – 4
∵ remainder is zero Similarly x + 1 is a factor of 2x3 + 4x + 6
but x – 1 is not a factor of x5 + x4 – x3 + x² – x + 1
∵ remainder is not zero
∴ Statements 1 and 2 are correct.
