  1. A 1990
  2. B 1989
  3. C 1991
  4. D 1992
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1989

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, he quadratic expression x+ax+1991+1 can be factorised as x+bx+c, therefore x+ax+1991+1=x+bx+c This implies that x+ax+1991+1 has roots -b & -c i.e., integer roots. So, discriminant of x2+1991+ax+1991a+1=0must be perfect square. 1991+a2-41991a+1=m2…
