The roots of the quadratic equation `2x^2-x-6=0`
(a)`-2, 3/2` (b) `2, -3/2`
(c)` -2, 3/2` (d) `2, 3/2`
उत्तर
(b) `2, 3/2`
The given quadratic equation is `2x^2-x-6=0`
`2x^2-x-6=0`
⇒`2x^2-4x+3x-6=0`
⇒`2x(x-2)+3(x-2)=0`
⇒`(x-2) (2x+3)=0`
⇒`x-2=0 or 2x+3=0`
⇒ `x=2 or x=(-3)/2`
Thus, the roots of the given equation are `2 and (-3)/2`
Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Complete the following activity to form a quadratic equation.
Activity:
The ratio of fruit trees and vegetable trees in an orchard is 3:4. If 6 more trees of each type are planted, the ratio of trees would be 6:7. Find the number of fruit trees and vegetable trees in the orchard.
The ratio of fruit trees and vegetable trees = 3:4
So, let the number of fruit trees= 3x and the number of vegetable trees = `square`
From the given condition,
`(3x + square)/(square + square) = square/square`
`square (3x + square) = square (square + square)`
`square + square = square + square`
`square - square = square - square`
`- square = - square`
`square = square`
x = `square`
∴ Number of fruit trees in the orchard = 3x = 3 × `square` = `square` and number of vegetable trees in the orchard = 4x = 4 × `square` = `square`
Hence, the number of fruit trees and vegetable trees in the orchard are `square` and `square` respectively.
