Explain Question: Analyze the number of real solutions for the equation
based on different conditions for parameters p and q.
Concept: Quadratic Equations, Absolute Value Functions, and Analysis of Roots based on
Discriminants and Signs.
Solution:
x |x| + px + q = 0
if ... (1)
and if x < 0 ... (2)
i) If q = 0 both the equations have 0 as a common root
ii) If q < 0, (1) has a +ve and a -ve root but the -ve root must be rejected as
iii) If q > 0, (2) has a +ve and a -ve root but the +ve root must be rejected as x < 0
Hence both A and B are true
Taking p = q = 1 yields real roots for (2) but . Hence (C) is false
iv) Taking p = - 1 and q = 1 we see that (1) has no real roots while (2) has 2 real roots. Hence
(D) is false
