    If\[{{x}^{2}}+4ax+2>0\]for all values of\[x,\]then a lies in the interval

    A)  \[(-2,\text{ }4)\]         

    B)         (1, 2)

    C)  \[(-\sqrt{2},\sqrt{2})\] 

    D)         \[\left( -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)\]

    E)  \[(-4,\text{ }2)\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{x}^{2}}+4ax+2>0\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{(4a)}^{2}}-4{{x}^{2}}<0\]      [\[\because \]if\[f(x)>0,\]then\[D<0\]] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[16{{a}^{2}}<8\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{a}^{2}}<\frac{1}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}<a<\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]
