    If both the roots of \[4{{x}^{2}}-20\lambda x+25{{\lambda }^{2}}+15\lambda -66=0\] are less than 2, then \[\lambda \] lie on the interval

    A)  \[\left( \frac{4}{3},2 \right)\]                    

    B)  \[(2,\infty )\]

    C)  \[\left( -1,-\frac{4}{5} \right)\]                 

    D)  \[(-\infty ,-1)\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Idea For a quadratic equation \[a{{x}^{2}}+bx+c=0\]if roots are real then, \[{{b}^{2}}-4ac\ge 0\]We have given that \[4{{x}^{2}}-20\lambda x+25{{\lambda }^{2}}+15\lambda -66=0\] \[{{(2x-5\lambda )}^{2}}=66-15\lambda \] The roots are\[x=\frac{5\lambda \pm \sqrt{66-15\lambda }}{2}\] Discriminate \[\ge 0\] \[\therefore \]  \[66-15\lambda \ge 0\Rightarrow \lambda \le \frac{22}{5}\]                        ?(i) \[\frac{5\lambda +\sqrt{66-15\lambda }}{2}<2\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[5\lambda +\sqrt{66-15\lambda }<4\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\sqrt{66-15\lambda }<4-5\lambda \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[66-15\lambda <16-40\lambda +25{{\lambda }^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{\lambda }^{2}}-\lambda -2>0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[(\lambda +1)(\lambda -2)>0\]                                ?(ii) \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\lambda \in (-\infty .-1)\cup (2,\infty )\]                            ?(iii) From above equations \[-\infty <\lambda <-1\] \[\therefore \]  \[\lambda \in (-\infty ,-1)\] TEST Edge Relation between the roots and nature of roots. Maximum and minimum values of \[a{{x}^{2}}+bx+c=0\] related questions are asked. To solve these questions, students learn the formulae of above concept and acquainted yourself for wary curve method.
