1. (x 2
+ 3x + 2 ) (x 2
)
+ 3x = 120
Let x2 + 3x = y  y2 + 2y – 120 = 0  (y + 12) (y – 10)= 0
 y = –12  x + 3x + 12 = 0
2
 x
y = 10  x2 + 3x – 10 = 0  (x + 5) (x – 2) = 0  x = {–5, 2}
x = 2, – 5 are only two integer roots.

3. x2 + px + 1 = 0 a + b = – p, ab = 1 ; x2 + qx + 1 = 0 c + d = – q, cd = 1

a + b = –p, ab = 1  c + d = –q, cd = 1
RHS = (a – c) (b – c) (a + d) (b + d) = (ab – ac – bc + c2) (ab + ad + bd + d2)
= (1 – ac – bc + c2) (1 + ad + bd + d2)

= c2 + d2 – a2 – b2 = (c + d)2 – 2cd – (a + b)2 + 2ab = q2 – 2 – p2 + 2 = q2 – p2 = LHS. Proved.
Aliter :
RHS = (ab – c(a + b) + c2) (ab + d(ab + d(a + b) + d2) = (c2 + pc + 1) (1 – pd + d2) ...(1)
Since c & d are the roots of the equation x2 + qx + 1 = 0
 c2 + qc + 1 = 0  c2 + 1 = –qc & d2 + qd + 1 = 0  d2 + 1 = –qd.
 (i) Becomes = (pc – qc) (–pd – qd) = c(p – q) (–d) (p + q) = –cd (p2 – q2)
