    Number of integral values of k for which the equation \[(k-2){{x}^{2}}+8x+k+4=0\] has both roots real, distinct and negative is

    A)  0                                

    B)  1

    C)  2                                

    D)  3

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    D > 0 64 - 4 (k - 2) (k + 4) > 0 \[16-({{k}^{2}}+k-8)>0\] \[{{k}^{2}}+2k-24<0\] \[(k+6)\,(k-4)\,<0\] \[k\in (-6,\,\,4)\]                           ?(1) Sum of root \[=\frac{8}{2(2-k)}<0\] \[\therefore \,\,2-k<0\] Product of roots > 0 \[\Rightarrow \,\,\frac{k+4}{k-2}>0\,\,\Rightarrow \,\in \,(-\infty ,\,-4)\,\cup \,(2,\infty )\] \[(1)\cap (2)\cap (3)\,\Rightarrow \,k\in (2,4)\]
