    Consider the following statements:
    1. \[x+3\]is the factor of \[{{x}^{3}}+2{{x}^{2}}+3x+8.\]
    2. \[x-2\]is the factor of  \[{{x}^{3}}+2{{x}^{2}}+3x+8.\]
    Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

    A) Only                            

    B) Only

    C) Both 1 and 2/1  

    D) Neither 1 nor 2

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[Putx= - 3 in equation{{x}^{3}}+ 2{{x}^{2}}+ 3x+ 8\] \[= {{\left( - 3 \right)}^{3}}+ 2{{\left( - 3 \right)}^{2}}+ 3 \left( - 3 \right) + 8\]= - 10 \[\ne \] 0 So, (x - 3) is not the factor of x3 + 2x2 + 3x + 8 Similarly, put x = 2 in above equation \[=~~{{\left( 2 \right)}^{3}}+ 2{{\left( 2 \right)}^{3}}+ 3 \left( 2 \right) + 8\] =   30\[\ne \]0 So, x - 2 is also not the factor of x3 + 2x3 + 3x + 8 So, Neither 1 Nor 2 is true.
