    Read the statement carefully and state 'T' for true and 'F' for false.
    (i)  The value of \[2+\frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{2+......\infty }}\] is \[\sqrt{2}\].
    (ii) A line segment AB of length 2 m is divided at C into two parts such that\[A{{C}^{2}}=AB-CB\] The length of the part CB is\[3+\sqrt{5}\].
    (iii) Every quadratic equation can have at most two real roots.
    (iv) A real number a is said to be root of the quadratic equation \[a{{x}^{2}}+bx+c=0,\] if\[a{{\alpha }^{2}}+b\alpha +c=0\].

    A)  i-F      ii-T      iii-T      iv-T

    B)  i-F      ii-T      iii-T     iv-F

    C)  i-T      ii-F      iii-F                  iv-T

    D)  i-F      ii-F      iii-T     iv-T

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    (i) Let \[x=2+\frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{2+....\infty }}\] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[x=2+\frac{1}{x}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{x}^{2}}-2x-1=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[x=1+\sqrt{2}\] or \[1-\sqrt{2}\] (ii) Let \[AC=x,\] then \[CB=2-x\] Since,  \[A{{C}^{2}}=AB\times CB\] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[{{x}^{2}}=2(2-x)\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{x}^{2}}+2x-4=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=-1+\sqrt{5}\] or \[-1-\sqrt{5}\] (Not possible) \[\therefore \]   \[CB=2-x=2-(\sqrt{5}-1)=(3-\sqrt{5})\,m\] (iii) True, every quadratic equation has maximum of two real roots. (iv) True.
