21. If one zero of 3x2 + 8x + k be the reciprocal of the other, then k = ?
(a) 3 (b) −3 (c) 1/3 (d) −1/3
Let α and 1/α be the zeroes of 3x2 − 8x + k.
Then product of zeroes = k/3
⇒ α × 1/α = k/3 ⇒ 1 = k/3 ⇒ k = 3
Hence, the correct answer is Option(a).

22. If the sum of the zeros of the quadratic polynomial kx2 + 2x + 3k is equal
to the product of its zeros, then k = ?
(a) 1/3 (b) −1/3 (c) 2/3 (d) −2/3
Let α and β be the zeroes of kx2 + 2x + 3k.
Then α + β = −2/k and αβ = 3k/k =3
⇒ α + β = αβ
⇒ −2/k = 3 ⇒ k = −2/3
Hence, the correct answer is option (b).
23. If α, β are the zeros of the polynomial x2 + 6x + 2, then + =?
(a) 3 (b) −3 (c) 12 (d) −12

Since α and β are the zeroes of x2 + 6x + 2,


we have α + β = −6 and αβ = 2
+ =
= = -3
Hence, the correct answer is option (b).
24. Find the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial x2 − 2x − 8.
(a) 2, 4 (b) 2, -4 (c) -2, 4 (d) -2, -4
x2 − 2x − 8 = 0
⇒ x2 − 4x + 2x − 8 = 0
⇒ x(x − 4) + 2(x − 4) = 0
⇒ (x − 4)(x + 2) = 0
⇒ (x − 4) = 0 or (x + 2) = 0
⇒ x = 4 or x = −2
Hence, the correct answer is Option(c).
25. If α, β, γ are the zeros of the polynomial x3 − 6x2 − x + 30, then (αβ + βγ + γα) = ?
(a) −1 (b) 1 (c) −5 (d) 30
It is given that α, β and γ are the zeroes of x3 − 6x2 − x + 30.
∴ (αβ + βγ + γα) = coefficient of x / coefficient of x3
= −1/1 = −1
Hence, the correct answer is Option(a).

26. If α, β, γ are the zeros of the polynomial 2x3 + x2 − 13x + 6, then αβγ = ?
(a) −3 (b) 3 (c) −1/2 (d) −13/2
Since α, β and γ are the zeroes of 2x3 + x2 − 13x + 6, we have
αβγ = −(constant term)/ coefficient of x3
= −6/2 = −3
Hence, the correct answer is option (a).
27. If α, β, γ be the zeros of the polynomial p(x) such that (α + β + γ) = 3,
(αβ + βγ + γα) = −10 and αβγ = −24, then p(x) = ?
(a) x3 + 3x2 − 10x + 24 (b) x3 + 3x2 + 10x −24
(c) x3 − 3x2 −10x + 24 (d) None of these
Given, α, β and γ are the zeroes of polynomial p(x).
Also, (α + β + γ) = 3, (αβ + βγ + γα) = −10 and αβγ = −24
∴ p(x) = x3 − (α + β + γ)x2 + (αβ + βγ + γα)x − αβγ
⇒ p(x) = x3 − 3x2 − 10x + 24
Hence, the correct answer is Option(c).
28. If two of the zeros of the cubic polynomial ax3 + bx2 + cx + d is 0, then the third
zeros is
(a) −b/a (b) b/a (c) c/a (d) −d/a
Let α, 0 and 0 be the zeroes of ax3 + bx2 + cx + d = 0.
Then sum of the zeroes = −b/a
⇒ α + 0 + 0 = −b/a ⇒ α = −b/a
Hence, the correct answer is Option(a).

29. If one of the zeros of the cubic polynomial ax3 + bx2 + cx + d is 0, then
the product of the other two zeros is
(a) −c/a (b) c/a (c) 0 (d) −b/a
Let α, β and 0 be the zeroes of ax3 + bx2 + cx + d.
Then, sum of the products of zeroes taking two at a time is given by
(αβ + β×0 + α×0) = c/a
⇒ αβ = c/a
Hence, the correct answer is option (b).
30. If α, β be the zero of the polynomial 2x2 + 5x + k such that α2 + β2 + αβ = ,
then k = ?
(a) 3 (b) −3 (c) −2 (d) 2
Since α and β are the zeroes of 2x2 + 5x + k, we have
α+β= and αβ =
Also, it is given that α2 + β2 + αβ =
⇒ (α + β)2 − αβ =
⇒ − k2 = ⇒ − k2 = ⇒ = − ⇒ =
⇒k=2
Hence, the correct answer is Option(d).
31. If α, β are the zeroes of kx2 − 2x + 3k such that α + β = αβ, then k = ?
(a) 1/3 (b) −1/3 (c) 2/3 (d) −2/3
Here, p(x) = x2 − 2x + 3k
Comparing the given polynomial with ax2 + bx + c, we get:
a = 1, b = −2 and c = 3k
It is given that α and β are the roots of the polynomial.
∴ α + β = −b/a
⇒ α + β = −(−2/1)
⇒ α + β = 2 ...(i)
Also, αβ = c/a
⇒ αβ = 3k/1
⇒ αβ = 3k ...(ii)
Now, α + β = αβ
⇒ 2 = 3k [Using (i) and (ii)]
⇒ k = 2/3
Hence, the correct answer is Option(c).
32. It is given that the difference between the zeroes of 4x2 − 8kx + 9 is 4
and k > 0. Then, k = ?
(a) 1/2 (b) 3/2 (c) 5/2 (d) 7/2
Let the zeroes of the polynomial be α and α + 4.
Here, p(x) = 4x2 − 8kx + 9
Comparing the given polynomial with ax2 + bx + c, we get:
a = 4, b = −8k and c = 9
Now, sum of the roots = −b/a
⇒ α + α + 4 = −(−8k)/4 ⇒ 2α + 4 = 2k ⇒ α + 2 = k ⇒ α = (k − 2) ...(i)
Also, product of the roots, αβ = c/a
⇒ α(α + 4) = 9/4
⇒ (k − 2)(k − 2 + 4) = 9/4 ⇒ (k − 2)(k + 2) = 9/4 ⇒ k2 − 4 = 9/4
⇒ 4k2 − 16 = 9 ⇒ 4k2 = 25 ⇒ k2 = 25/4
⇒ k = 5/2 (∵ k > 0)
Hence, the correct answer is Option(c).
33. Find the zeros of the polynomial x2 + 2x − 195.
(a) −13, 15 (b) −13, −15 (c) 13, −15 (d) 13, 15

Here, p(x)= x2 + 2x − 195


Let p(x) = 0 ⇒ x2 + 2x − 195 = 0
⇒ x2 + 15x − 13x − 195 = 0
⇒ x(x + 15) − 13(x + 15) = 0
⇒ (x + 15)(x − 13) = 0
⇒ x = −15, 13
Hence, the correct answer is Option(c).
34. If one zero of the polynomial (a2 + 9)x2 + 13x + 6a is the reciprocal of the
other, find the value of a.
(a) 3 (b) −3 (c) −2 (d) 2
(a + 9)x2 − 13x + 6a = 0
Here, A = (a2 + 9), B = 13 and C = 6a
Let α and 1/α be the two zeroes.
Then, product of the zeroes = C/A
⇒α. = ⇒1= ⇒ a2 + 9 = 6a ⇒ a2 − 6a + 9 = 0
⇒ a2 − 2×a×3 + 32 = 0
⇒ (a − 3)2 = 0
⇒a−3=0
⇒a=3
Hence, the correct answer is Option(a).
35. If α, β are the zeros of the polynomial f(x) = x2 − 5x + k such that α − β = 1,
find the value of k.
(a) − 6 (b) 6 (c) −3 (d) 3
Given, f(x) = x2 − 5x + k
The coefficients are a = 1, b = −5 and c = k.
∴ α + β = −b/a
⇒ α + β = −(−5)/1 ⇒ α + β = 5 …(1)
Also, α − β = 1 …(2)
Adding (1) & (2), we get
2α = 6 ⇒ α = 3
Putting the value of α in (1), we get β = 2.
Now, αβ = c/a
⇒ 3×2 = k/1
∴k=6
Hence, the correct answer is Option(b).
