Let f(x) = 2x² + 5x + 1. If we write f(x) as f(x) = a(x + 1)(x - 2) + b(x - 2)(x - 1) + c(x - 1)(x + 1) for real numbers a, b, c then

• there are infinite number of choices for a, b, c

• only one choice for a but infinite number of choices for b and c

• exactly one choice for each of a, b, c

• more than one but finite number of choices for a, b, c

If $\mathrm{\alpha }, \mathrm{\beta }$ are the roots of ax² + bx + c = 0 ($\mathrm{a} \ne 0$) and $\mathrm{\alpha } + \mathrm{h}, \mathrm{\beta } + \mathrm{h}$ are the roots of px² + qx + r = 0 (p $\ne$ 0), then the ratio of the squares of their discriminants is

Let z₁, z₂ be two fixed complex numbers in the argand plane and z be an arbitrary point satisfying $\left|\mathrm{z} - {\mathrm{z}}_1\right| + \left|\mathrm{z} - {\mathrm{z}}_2\right| = 2\left|{\mathrm{z}}_1 - {\mathrm{z}}_2\right|$ Then, the locus of z will be

• an ellipse

• a straight line joining z₁ and z₂

• a parabola

• ab = 1

• a = 1 - b
