Q60 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (27 Jul Shift 2) · Mathematics

Let α=maxx∈R82sin3x·44cos3x and β=minx∈R82sin3x·44cos3x. If 8x2+bx+c=0 is a quadratic equation whose roots are α1/5 and β1/5, then the value of c-b is equal to :

  • Correct answer
    A
    42
  • B
    47
  • C
    43
  • D
    50

Solution

α=max82sin3x·44cos3x

=max26sin3x·28cos3x

=max26sin3x+8cos3x

and β=min82sin3x·44cos3x=min26sin3x+8cos3x

Now range of 6sin3x+8cos3x

=-62+82,+62+82=-10,10

α=210 & β=2-10

So, α1/5=22=4

⇒β1/5=2-2=14

The quadratic 8x2+bx+c=0,

sum of roots =-b8 and product of roots =c8

∴ c-b=8×[ (product of roots)+(sum of roots)]

=8×4×14+4+14=8×214=42

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