Answer:
Correct Answer: 82.(True)
Solution:
- Let $f(x)=(x-a)(x-c)+2(x-b)(x-d)$
Here,
$ \begin{aligned} & f(a)=+ve \\ & f(b)=-ve \\ & f(c)=-ve \\ & f(d)=+ve \end{aligned} $
$\therefore$ There exists two real and distinct roots one in the interval $(a, b)$ and other in $(c, d)$.
Hence, statement is true.
