- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
We need the quadratic to satisfy
-
For a quadratic to be positive for all real , we need:
- , and
- discriminant .
Here, , so we only need
-
Compute the discriminant:
Simplifying,
So the condition becomes
-
Divide by :
Factorize:
Hence,
Therefore,
-
Now is an integer in the interval .
Integers satisfying and are:
Number of favorable integers .
-
Total integers in are:
-
Therefore, the required probability is
-
Comparing with the given options, this is Option B.
