    The value of \[k\]for which \[2{{x}^{2}}-kx+x+8=0\]has equal and real roots are [BIT Ranchi  1990]

    A) -9 and -7

    B) 9 and 7

    C) -9 and 7

    D) 9 and -7

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Equation \[2{{x}^{2}}-kx+x+8=0\] has equal and real roots, then\[D={{b}^{2}}-4ac=0\]. Þ \[{{(1-k)}^{2}}-4.2.8=0\]Þ  \[{{k}^{2}}+1-2k-64=0\] Þ \[{{k}^{2}}-2k-63=0\]\[\Rightarrow k=9,\ -7\].
