    If one of the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial \[(k-1){{x}^{2}}+kx+1\] is \[-3,\] then the value of k is:  (NCERT EXEMPLAR)

    A) \[\frac{4}{3}\]

    B) \[\frac{-4}{3}\]

    C) \[\frac{2}{3}\]

    D) \[\frac{-2}{3}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Let \[p(x)=(k-1){{x}^{2}}+kx+1\]
    Given that, one of the zeroes is \[-3,\]then
                            \[p(-3)=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,(k-1)\,\,{{(-3)}^{2}}+k(-3)+1=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,9(k-1)-3k+1=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,6k-8=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,k=4/3\]
