[Roorkee 1983]

Options:

A) [5, 9]

B) $ (-\infty ,\ 5]\cup [9,\ \infty ) $

C) (5, 9)

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Let $ \frac{x^{2}+34x-71}{x^{2}+2x-7}=y $
$ \Rightarrow x^{2}(1-y)+2,(17-y),x+(7y-71)=0 $ For real value of $ x,B^{2}-4AC\ge 0 $
$ \Rightarrow y^{2}-14y+45\ge 0\Rightarrow y\ge 9,y\le 5 $ .
