    The solution set of the equation \[\sqrt{3{{x}^{2}}-7x-30}-\sqrt{2{{x}^{2}}-7x-5}=x-5\] is

    A)  \[\{6\}\]

    B)  \[\left\{ 6,-\frac{5}{2} \right\}\]

    C)  \[\{5,6\}\]

    D)  \[\left\{ 5,\frac{7}{2} \right\}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given equation can be rewritten as \[\sqrt{3{{x}^{2}}-7x-30}=(x-5)+\sqrt{2{{x}^{2}}-7x-5}\] On squaring both sides, we get \[3{{x}^{2}}-7x-30={{x}^{2}}+25-10x+(2{{x}^{2}}-7x-5)\] \[+2(x-5)\sqrt{2{{x}^{2}}-7x-5}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[10x-50=2(x-5)\sqrt{2{{x}^{2}}-7x-5}\] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[(x-5)\,(5-\sqrt{2{{x}^{2}}-7x-5)}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] either \[x-5=0\]or \[5-\sqrt{2{{x}^{2}}-7x-5}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=5\]or \[5=\sqrt{2{{x}^{2}}-7x-5}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=5\]or  \[2{{x}^{2}}-7x-30=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[x=5\]or  \[x=-5/2,\,\,6\] But \[x=-\frac{5}{2}\] is not satisfied the  given equation. Hence, required roots are \[\{5,6\}\].
