JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 13. probability

Let \(a, b\) and \(c\) denote the outcome of three independent rolls of a fair tetrahedral die, whose four faces are marked \(1,2,3,4\). If the probability that \(a x^2+b x+c=0\) has all real roots is \(\frac{m}{n}\), \(\operatorname{gcd}(\mathrm{m}, \mathrm{n})=1\), then \(\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{n}\) is equal to ..........

  1. A \(19\)
  2. B \(20\)
  3. C \(6\)
  4. D \(71\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(19\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(a, b, c \in\{1,2,3,4\}\) Tetrahedral dice \(a x^2+b x+c=0\) has all real roots \( \Rightarrow \mathrm{D} \geq 0 \) \( \Rightarrow \mathrm{b}^2-4 \mathrm{ac} \geq 0\) Let \(b=1 \Rightarrow 1-4 a c \geq 0\) (Not feasible) \( \mathrm{b}=2 \Rightarrow 4-4 \mathrm{ac} \geq 0 \)…
