    The number of solution of the equation \[\sqrt{3{{x}^{2}}+6x+12}+\sqrt{5{{x}^{2}}+10x+9}=4-2x-{{x}^{2}}\] is equal to

    A) 1

    B) 2      

    C) 3

    D) 4

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    We have, \[\sqrt{3{{x}^{2}}+6x+12}+\sqrt{5{{x}^{2}}+10x+9}\] \[=4-2x-{{x}^{2}}\]
    \[3{{x}^{2}}+6x+12=3{{\left( x-1 \right)}^{2}}+9\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\sqrt{3{{x}^{2}}+6x+12}\ge 3\]
    \[5{{x}^{2}}+10x+9=5{{\left( x+1 \right)}^{2}}+4\]
    \[\sqrt{5{{x}^{2}}+10x+9}\ge 2\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,LHS\ge 3+2=5\]
    \[RHS\,\,\,\,\,\,\,4-2x-{{x}^{2}}=5-{{\left( x+1 \right)}^{2}}\]
    \[RHS\,\le 5\]
    \[\therefore \]      Only equality is possible.
    \[\therefore \]      Equality is possible if \[x=-1\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[x=-1\]is the only solutions.
