- B2
- C4
- D5
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
-
For the quadratic equation the roots will be rational if and only if the discriminant is a perfect square.
-
Compute the discriminant:
-
For rational roots, we need to be a non-negative perfect square.
Let where is a non-negative integer.
-
Since is a positive integer, So possible positive integers are
-
Now check the discriminant for these values:
-
For : not a perfect square.
-
For : not a perfect square.
-
For : perfect square.
-
For : perfect square.
-
For : perfect square.
-
-
Thus, the positive integral values of are: Total number of values = .
-
Hence the correct option is:
