Quadratic EquationHard

Question

Given that the equation $mx^{2} - 2(m + 2)x + m + 5 = 0,m \in R$ has no real root. Then the equation $(m - 6)x^{2} - 2(m + 2)x + (m + 5) = 0$ can have

Options

A.Two equal real roots
B.Two distinct real roots
C.No real roots
D.Exactly one real root

Solution

$mx^{2} - 2(m + 2)x + m + 5 = 0$ has no real roots

$$\Rightarrow \ m \neq 0\text{~and~}D < 0\ \Rightarrow \ m > 4$$

For the equation

$$\begin{matrix} (m - 6)x^{2} - 2(m + 2)x + m + 5 & \ = 0 \\ D & \ = 4(10m + 4) > 0\text{~for~}m > 4 \end{matrix}$$

⇒ Equation has two distinct real roots if $m \in (4,\infty) - \{ 6\}$ and one real root if $m = 6$
