  • question_answer
    The remainder when \[4{{a}^{3}}-12{{a}^{2}}+14a-3\] is divided by \[2\text{ }a-1,\] is

    A)  \[\frac{1}{2}\]                       

    B)  \[\frac{7}{2}\]

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

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Here,  \[f(a)=4{{a}^{3}}-12{{a}^{2}}+14a-3\] and \[g(a)=2a-1\] Put   \[g(a)=0\Rightarrow a=\frac{1}{2}\] Remainder = \[f\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)=4{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{3}}-12\times {{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}+14\times \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)-3\] \[=4\times \frac{1}{8}-12\times \frac{1}{4}+7-3=\frac{3}{2}\]
