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

The set of all real values of \(\lambda\) for which the quadratic equations, \(\left(\lambda^{2}+1\right) x ^{2}-4 \lambda x +2=0\) always have exactly one root in the interval \((0,1)\) is

  1. A \((-3,-1)\)
  2. B \((1,3]\)
  3. C \((0,2)\)
  4. D \((2,4]\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((1,3]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If exactly one root in (0,1) then \(\Rightarrow \quad f (0) \cdot f (1)<0\) \(\Rightarrow \quad 2\left(\lambda^{2}-4 \lambda+3\right)<0\) \(\Rightarrow \quad 1<\lambda<3\) Now for \(\lambda=1,2 x ^{2}-4 x +2=0\) \((x-1)^{2}=0, x=1,1\) So both roots doesn't lie between (0,1)…
