WEST BENGAL JOINT ENTRANCE EXAMINATION

(WBJEE) 2018
Date: 22 April, 2018 | Duration: 2 Hours | Max. Marks: 100
:: IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS ::
1. This question paper contains all objective questions divided into three categories. Each question has four answer options
given.
2. Category-I : Carry 1 marks each and only one option is correct. In case of incorrect answer or any combination of more
than one answer ¼ marks will be deducted.
3. Category-II : Carry 2 marks each and only one option is correct. In case of incorrect answer or any combination of more
than one answer ½ marks will be deducted.
4. Category-III : Carry 2 marks each and one or more option(s) is/are correct. If all correct answers are not marked and also
no incorrect answer is marked then score = 2 × number of correct answers marked  actual number of correct answers. If
any wrong option is marked or if any combination including a wrong option is marked, the answer will considered wrong but
there is no negative marking for the same and zero marks will be awarded.
5. Questions must be answered on, OMR sheet by darkening the appropriate bubble marked (A), (B), (C) or (D).
6. Use only Black/Blue ball point pen to mark the answer by complete filing up of the respective bubbles.
7. Mark the answers only in the space provided. Do not make any stray mark on the OMR.
8. Write question booklet number and your roll number carefully in the specified locations of the OMR. Also fill appropriate
bubbles.
9. Write your name (in block letter), name of the examination centre and put you full signature in appropriate boxes in the
OMR.
10. The OMRs will be processed by electronic means. Hence it is liable to become invalid if there is any mistake in the question
booklet number or roll number entered or if there is any mistake in filling corresponding bubbles. Also it may become invalid
if there is any discrepancy in the name of the candidate, name of the examination center or signature of the candidate vis-
à-vis what is given in the candidate's admit card. The OMR may also become invalid due to folding or putting stray marks
on it or any damage to it. The consequence of such invalidation due to incorrect marking or careless handling by the
candidate will be sole responsibility of candidate.
11. Candidates are not allowed to carry any written or printed material, calculator, pen, docu-pen, log table, wristwatch, any
communication device like mobile phones etc. inside the examination hall. Any candidate found with such items will
reported against & his/her candidature will be summarily cancelled.
12. Rough work must be done on the question paper itself. Additional blank pages are given in the question paper for rough
work.
13. Hand over the OMR to the invigilator before leaving the Examination Hall.
14. This paper contains questions in both English and Bengali. Necessary care and precaution were taken while framing the
Bengali version. However if any discrepancy(ies) is/are found between the two versions, the information provided in the
English version will stand and will be treated as final.

74. If the equation x – cx + d = 0 has roots equal to the fourth powers of the roots of x2 + ax + b = 0, where a2 > 4b,
then the roots of x2 – 4bx + 2b2 – c = 0 will be
(A) both real (B) both negative
(C) both positive (D) one positive and one negative
Ans. (AD)
Sol. Let x2 + ax + b = 0 has roots  and 
x2 – cx + d = 0, roots are 4 and 4
 +  = – a,  = b and 4 + 4 = c, ()4 = d
 b4 = d and 4 + 4 = c
(2 + 2)2 – 2()2 = c
 (( + )2 – 2)2 – 2()2 = c
 (a2 – 2b)2 – 2b2 = c  2b2 + c = (a2 – 2b)2
2b2 – c = 4a2b – a2
= a2(4b – a2)
Now for equation
x2 – 4bx + 2b2 – c = 0

Page | 29 |
D = (4b)2 – 4(1) (2b2 – c)

= 16b2 – 8b2 + 4c
= 8b2 + 4c
= 4(2b2 + c)
= 4(a2 – 2b)2 > 0  real roots
Now f(0) = 2b2 – c
= a2(4b – a2)
<0 (since a2 > 4b)
Roots are opposite in sign.
