Ratio of C and O in CO2 = 12 : 32 = 3 : 8

The tendency of any compound to accept electrons is called acidity of the compound.
As we know that electronegativity is the property of the element to attract electron pairs.
Hence, the acidic character of the oxides “decreases down the group” because the
electronegativity decreases down the group. Similarly, when the metal is more
electropositive, it has more basic oxide in nature.
Metals form basic oxides and Non-metals form acidic oxides. As we move from left to right
across a period, the metallic character decreases and the non-metallic character increases.
Hence, oxides become more acidic as we move from left to right across a period.
Oxides in the higher oxidation state of an element are more acidic than that of the lower
oxidation state.

Question Explanation: We have to verify all the option for the information given in the
question.

Concept: Beurded condition of function to solve the equation f(x) + g(x) = 0.

Solution: x4 – 2x2 + 4 + 3cos(ax2 + bx + c) = 0

⇒ (x2 – 1)2 + 3 = –3cos(ax2 + bx + c)
Range of (x2 – 1)2 + 3 = [3, ∞) and range of
–3cos(ax2 + bx + c) = [–3, 3]
Equality holds when x2 – 1 = 0 ⇒ x = ±1
& cos(ax2 + bx + c) = –1
when; x = 1;
cos(a + b + c) = –1 ⇒ a + b + c = π, 3π
when; x = –1;
cos(a – b + c) = –1 ⇒ a – b + c = π, 3π
as a, b, c ∈ (2, 5)
∴ 6 < a + b + c < 15
So, a + b + c = 3π only (C)
and 4 < a + c < 10 & – 5 < – b < – 2
⇒ –1 < a + c – b < 8
∴ a + c – b = π only (B)

⇒ x2 + 8 = 32 ⇒ x2 = 1 ⇒ x = ±1 (correct)

(C)
⇒ 15 = 3N
⇒ 2 < N < 3 (incorrect)
(D) log4 x(x + 2) = log4 3x
⇒ x2 + 2x = 3x
⇒ x2 – x = 0
⇒ x(x – 1) = 0
⇒ x = 0, 1 (correct)

(logx)3 – (logx)[Link](5 × 3 × 4) = 0
(logx)2 [logx – log60] = 0
⇒ (logx)2 = 0 ⇒ x = 1 log x – log 60 = 0
x = 60
roots are 1,60
⇒ square of sum of roots = (1 + 60)2 = 3721

52) Let the quadratic equation x2 + ax + b = 0 has root α & β & quadratic equation does not
change when it's roots are α2 & β2, x2 + ax + b = 0
So α + β = –a ....(1) α2 + β2 = –a ....(3)
αβ = b ....(2) α2β2 = b ....(4)
from (2) & (4)
(b)2 = b ⇒ b(b – 1) = 0
b = 0, 1 .....(5)
α + β = –a
Squaring on both sides.
α2 + β2 + 2αβ = a2
–a + 2αβ = a2 [from (3)]
a2 + a – 2αβ = 0
a2 + a – 2b = 0 [from (2)]
Case-I : if b = 0
a2 + a –2(0) = 0
a = 0, –1
(i) When a = 0 & b = 0
quadratic equation ⇒ x2
(ii) When a = –1 & b = 0
quadratic equation ⇒ x2 – x = 0
Case-II : if b = 1
a2 + a –2 = 0
a = –2, 1
(i) When a = –2 & b = 1
quadratic equation ⇒ x2 – 2x + 1
(ii) When a = 1 & b = 1
quadratic equation ⇒ x2 + x + 1
So, total number of quadratic equation = 4.

Lines (2a + b)x + a(a + 3b)y + (b - 3a) = 0 or a(2x + y - 3) + b(x + 3y + 1) = 0 are concurrent
at the point of intersection of lines 2x + y - 3 = 0 and x + 3y + 1 =0, which is (2 -1).
Now, line mx + 2y + 6 = 0 must pass through this point.
Therefore, 2m - 2 + 6 = 0 or m = - 2.
