    Vikas has Rs. \[({{x}^{3}}+2ax+b),\] with this money he can buy exactly \[(x-1)\] jeans or\[(x+1)\] shirts with no money left. How much money Vikas has, if\[x=4?\]

    A)  Rs. 80                         

    B)  Rs. 120

    C)         Rs. 30             

    D)         Rs. 60

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Amount of money Vikas has = Rs.\[({{x}^{2}}+2ax+b)\] Now, he can buy exactly \[(x-1)\]Jeans or \[(x+1)\]shirts. \[\therefore \]\[(x-1)\]and \[(x+1)\]are factors of \[{{x}^{3}}+2ax+b.\] \[\therefore \]\[{{(1)}^{3}}+2a(1)+b=0\Rightarrow 2a+b=-1\]      ?(i) and \[{{(-1)}^{3}}-2a+b=0\Rightarrow 2a-6b=-1\]          ?(ii) Adding (i) and (ii), we get \[4a=-2\Rightarrow a=\frac{-1}{2}\]? \[\therefore \]\[-1+b=-1\Rightarrow b=0\] So, amount of money he has = Rs.\[({{x}^{3}}-x)\] = Rs. \[({{4}^{3}}-4)=\]Rs.\[(64-4)\]= Rs. 60
