Hints and Explanation

1. 4x2 - 12x + 9 6. 4x4 + 16 = (2x2)2 + 42
4x2 16x4 - 96x3 + 216x2-216x + 81 = (2x2)2 + 2(2x2) 4 + 42 - 2(2x2) 4
16x4 = (2x2)2 + 16x2+ 42 - 16x2
= (2x2 + 4)2- (4x)2
8x2 - 12x -96x3 + 216x2-216x + 81
= (2x2 + 4x + 4) (2x2 - 4x + 4)
-12x -96x3 + 144x2
= 4(x2 + 2x + 2) (x2 - 2x + 2)
8x2 - 24x + 9 72x2 - 216x + 81
7. f(x) × g(x) = HCF × LCM
72x2 - 216x + 81
When HCF = 1, f(x) × g(x) = LCM.

Hence, the correct option is (c). 0
 he HCF of f(x) and g(x) is a factor of the LCM of f(x)
4. T ⇒ k = - 154 and l = 121
and g(x). k + l = -154 + 121= -33
\ Option (d) follows.  et f(x) = x4 + 3x2 - 2x - 10 and divisor = x + 2
9. L
Hence, the correct option is (d). Remainder = f(-2)
5. (x + 1) (x + 3) (x + 5) (x + 7) + p = (-2)4 + 3(-2)2 - 2 (-2) - 10
= (x2 + 8x + 7) (x2 + 8x + 15) + p = 16 + 12 + 4 - 10
= (a + 7) (a + 15) + p (Let us assume that x2 + 8x = a.) = 22
= a2 + 22a + 105 + p  e know that (a + b)2 + (a - b)2 = 2a2 + 2b2
10. W
= a2 + 2 (a) (11) + (105 + p) is perfect square. \ (2x + 3y)2 + (2x - 3y)2
⇒ 105 + p = 112 = 2(2x)2 + 2(3y)2
p = 16 = 8x2 + 18y2
Hence, the correct option is (a).
