    The value of t for which \[{{m}^{2}}-\frac{3m}{2}+t\]will be a perfect square, is

    A) \[\frac{9}{4}\]                          

    B) \[\frac{9}{16}\]

    C) \[\frac{3}{2}\]                          

    D) \[\frac{3}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[{{m}^{2}}-\frac{3m}{2}+t={{\left( m-\frac{3}{4} \right)}^{2}}+t-\frac{9}{16}\]
    So, if \[t=\frac{9}{16},\]it will become a perfect square.
    Alternate Method
    Given equation \[={{m}^{2}}-\frac{3m}{2}+t\]
    Now, taking the standard perfect square
    \[{{(x-y)}^{2}}={{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-2xy\]
    On comparing, we get
    \[{{m}^{2}}={{x}^{2}},\]\[{{y}^{2}}=t\] and \[\frac{3}{2}m=2m\sqrt{t}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\sqrt{t}=\frac{3}{4}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[t=\frac{9}{16}\]
    Hence, value of t should be \[\frac{9}{16}\] to make the given equation a perfect square.
