Question

abc are length of sides of an scalene triangle. If equation

           

has real and distinct roots, then the value of λ is given by:

Solution

Correct option is

A quadratic equation has real and distinct roots implies its Δ ≥ 0.

 

 

 

Now in any triangle sum of two sides is greater than the third. 

 

 

    

     

Hence from (1) and (2).   

3λ – 2 < 2   or   λ < 4/3.
