    If \[{{x}^{2}}+2x+2xy+my-3\] has two rational factors, then the value of m will be     [RPET 1990]

    A) \[-6,-2\]

    B) \[-6,2\]

    C) \[6,-2\]

    D) 6, 2

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given expression  \[{{x}^{2}}+2x+2xy+my-3\] can be written as \[{{x}^{2}}+2x(1+y)+(my-3)\] But factors are rational, so \[{{B}^{2}}-4AC\] is a perfect square. Now \[4\left\{ {{(1+y)}^{2}}-(my-3) \right\}\ge 0\] Þ\[4\left\{ {{y}^{2}}+1+2y-my+3 \right\}\ge 0\]Þ  \[{{y}^{2}}+2y-my+4\ge 0\] Hence \[2y-my=\pm 4y\] {as it is perfect square} Þ \[2y-my=4y\Rightarrow m=-2\]. Now taking (-) sign, we get \[m=6\].
