Correct answer: A
-
For the quadratic equation with , the total number of possible equations is
-
The equation has one real root bigger than the other means it has two distinct real roots. For a quadratic, this happens when the discriminant is positive:
-
So we must count the number of ordered triples such that
-
Since , we check each value of .
Case 1:
Need: Impossible since .
Number of favorable triples: .
Case 2:
Need: Impossible.
Number of favorable triples: .
Case 3:
Need: So possible integer products are: From , ordered pairs are:
Count = .
Case 4:
Need: So possible integer products are: Ordered pairs:
- :
- :
- :
Count = .
Case 5:
Need: So possible integer products are: Ordered pairs:
- :
- :
- :
- :
- :
- :
Count = .
Case 6:
Need: So possible integer products are: (Note: is not possible with factors in the set.)
Ordered pairs:
- :
- :
- :
- :
- :
- :
- :
Count = .
- Total favorable triples:
Thus, Therefore,
- So the correct option is
This matches Option A.
