  1. A \((-9,-2)\)
  2. B \((6, 4)\)
  3. C \((9, 2)\)
  4. D \((2, 9)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \((9, 2)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(f(x)=2 x^4-13 x^2+a x+b\) is divisible by \(\begin{aligned} & (x-2)(x-1) . \\ & \therefore \quad f(2)=2(2)^4-13(2)^2+a(2)+b=0 \end{aligned}\) a + b = 11 On solving Eqs. we get \(a=9, b=2\)
