The number of integral values of k, for which one root of the equation 2x2-8x+k=0 lies in the interval 1,2 and its other root lies in the interval 2,3, is : 
  1. 2
  2. 0
  3. 1
  4. 3

Solution

Let f(x)=2x2-8x+k=0

 

f(1)>0

f(2)<0

f(3)>0

Now, f(1)>02-8+k>0k>6 ......(1)

f(2)<08-16+k<0k<8 ......(2)

f(3)>018-24+k>0k>6 ......(3)

From equations 1, 2 & 3,

k(6,8)

 Integral value of k=7

Therefore number of integral value of k is one
