Solution: Suppose the roots of

𝑥 2 + 𝑝𝑥 − (444)𝑝 = 0 are integers. Then the

Therefore
𝑝2 + 4(444)𝑝 = 𝑝{𝑝 + 4 × (444)}
𝑎1 = 10 C1 × 2 = 20
and must be a perfect square. Therefore 𝑝
𝑎2 = 10 C2 × 22 + 3 × 10 C1 = 180 + 30 = 210 divides 𝑝 + 4 × (444). This implies

Solution: We have Solution: The given equation is

𝑇𝑟+1 = 20 C𝑟 (𝑥sin𝛼)20−𝑟 ( ) 2 2
𝑥 √(√𝑥 − 2 − 4) + √(√𝑥 − 2 − 5) = 3
= 20 C𝑟 (sin𝛼)20−𝑟 (cos𝛼)𝑟 𝑥 20−2𝑟
This is independent of 𝑥. Since 20 − 2𝑟 = 0 |√𝑥 − 2 − 4| + |√𝑥 − 2 − 5| = 3
so 𝑟 = 10. Therefore Put √𝑥 − 2 − 5 = 𝑦. Then, the given equation
1 becomes
𝑇11 = 20 C10 (sin𝛼cos𝛼)10 = 20 C10 10 (sin2𝛼)10 |𝑦 + 1| + |𝑦| = 3

≤ 20 C10 2−10 Case 1: Suppose 𝑦 ≥ 0. Then 𝑦 + 1 + 𝑦 = 3 or
and equality holds when 2𝛼 = (4𝑛 ± 1)(𝜋/2). 𝑦 = 1. Therefore
Therefore 𝛽 = 10. √𝑥 − 2 − 5 = 1 ⇒ 𝑥 = 38
Case 2: Suppose 𝑦 ≤ −1. Then 𝑦 + 1 ≤ 0.
This implies
88. If the equations 𝑥 2 + 𝑎𝑥 + 1 = 0 and −(𝑦 + 1) − 𝑦 = 3 or 𝑦 = −2
𝑥 2 − 𝑥 − 𝑎 = 0 have a real common root, Hence √𝑥 − 2 − 5 = −2 ⇒ 𝑥 = 11
then the value of 𝑎 is Note that −1 < 𝑦 < 0 is impossible (for,
Answer: (2) otherwise, 3 = |𝑦 + 1| + |𝑦| = 𝑦 + 1 − 𝑦).
Solution: Let 𝛼 be a real common root. Thus, 𝑥 = 38 or 11.
Then
𝛼 2 + 𝑎𝛼 + 1 = 0
𝛼2 − 𝛼 − 𝑎 = 0
Therefore
𝛼(𝑎 + 1) + (𝑎 + 1) = 0
(𝑎 + 1)(𝛼 + 1) = 0
If 𝑎 = −1, then the equations are same and
also cannot have a real root. Therefore
𝑎 + 1 ≠ 0 and hence
𝛼 = −1, so that 𝑎 = 2.
