JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 4.2 Quadratic equations and inequations

Let \(S=\{x^{3}+ax^{2}+bx+c:a, b, c\in N\) and \(a, b, c\le 20\}\) be a set of polynomials. Then the number of polynomials in S, which are divisible by \(x^{2}+2,\) is

  1. A 20
  2. B 6
  3. C 120
  4. D 10
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 10

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(x^{3}+ax^{2}+bx+c=(x^{2}+2)(x+\frac{c}{2})\) \(x^{2}:a=\frac{c}{2}\) \(x:b=2\) \(b=2, a=\frac{c}{2}, c\in\{2,4,...,20\}\) Number of polynomials in 'S' will be 10.
