    If the difference between the roots of the equation\[160.2\text{ }J/K\]is less than\[\Delta H{}^\circ \]then the set of possible values of a is       AIEEE  Solved  Paper-2007

    A)  (-3, 3)                  

    B)        \[\Delta S{}^\circ \]        

    C)         \[\frac{1}{2}(1-\sqrt{5})\]            

    D)        \[\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{5}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let \[\alpha \] and \[\beta \] be the roots of equation \[{{x}^{2}}+ax+1=0,\]then \[\alpha +\beta =-a\] and \[\alpha \beta =1\] Now,     \[|\alpha -\beta |=\sqrt{{{(\alpha +\beta )}^{2}}-4\alpha \beta }\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[|\alpha -\beta |=\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}-4}\] According to the question, \[\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}-4}<\sqrt{5}\Rightarrow {{a}^{2}}-4<5\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{a}^{2}}-9<0\Rightarrow a\in (-3,3)\]
