Q52 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2020 (10 Sep Shift 1) · Mathematics

$\alpha$ is the maximum value of $1-2 x-5 x^2$ and $\beta$ is the minimum value of $x^2-2 x+r$. If $5 \alpha x^2+\beta x+6>0$ for all real values $x$, then the interval in which $r$ lies is

  • A
    $(0,5)$
  • B
    $(-5, \infty)$
  • C
    $(-\infty, 7)$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $(-11,13)$

Solution

We have, $f(x)=1-2 x-5 x^2$ $\begin{aligned} & =-5\left[x^2+\frac{2}{5} x-\frac{1}{5}\right]=-5\left[\left(x+\frac{1}{5}\right)^2-\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{25}\right] \\ & =-5\left(x+\frac{1}{5}\right)^2+1+\frac{1}{5}=-5\left(x+\frac{1}{5}\right)^2+\frac{6}{5} \\ \therefore \quad f(x) & \leq \frac{6}{5} \quad \therefore \alpha=\frac{6}{5} \end{aligned}$ Again, $g(x)=x^2-2 x+r=(x-1)^2+r-1$ $\begin{array}{rlrlrl} \therefore g(x) \geq(r-1) \\ \therefore \beta =r-1 \end{array}$ So, $5 \alpha x^2+\beta x+6=6 x^2+(r-1) x+6$ Since, $5 \alpha x^2+\beta x+6>0$ and coefficient of $x^2>0$ $\begin{array} \therefore D < 0 \\ \Rightarrow (r-1)^2-4 \times 6 \times 6 < 0 \\ \Rightarrow (r+11)(r-13) < 0 \\ \Rightarrow r \in(-11,13) \end{array}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
