If the set of all $\mathrm{a} \in \mathbf{R}$, for which the equation $2 x^2+(a-5) x+15=3 \mathrm{a}$ has no real root, is the interval $(\alpha, \beta)$, and $X=\{x \in Z: \alpha \lt x \lt \beta\}$, then $\sum_{x \in X} x^2$ is equal to :
  1. 2109
  2. 2129
  3. 2119
  4. 2139

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & (a-5)^2-8(15-3 a) < 0 \\ & a^2+14 a+25-120 < 0 \\ & a^2+14 a-95 < 0 \\ & (a+19)(a-5) < 0 \\ & a \in(-19,5) \\ & \therefore-19 < x < 5 \\ & \therefore \sum_{x \in X} x^2=\left(1^2+2^2+\ldots .+4^2\right)+\left(1^2+2^2+\ldots+18^2\right) \\ & =\frac{4 \times 5 \times 9}{6}+\frac{18 \times 19 \times 37}{6} \\ & =30+2109 \\ & =2139\end{aligned}$ ~
