Quadratic equations are the polynomial equations of degree 2 in one variable of type f(x) = = 0 where a, b, c, ∈ R and a ≠ 0.
Such questions are best examples of quadratic equations where the unknown is simply assumed to be a variable which when substituted according to the conditions yield a quadratic equation which can easily be solved.
Let x represent the whole population.
Total Spending = Rs. 96
Thus, each individual's contribution is equal to 96/x.
Four people did not show up causing
others to contribute Rs. 4 extra.
So the given condition can be written as
96/(x-4) – 96/x = 4
=>96x – 96(x-4) = 4x(x-4)
=> 96x -96x + 384 = 4x2 – 16x
=> 4x2 – 16x – 384 = 0
=> x2 – 4x – 96 = 0
=> (x – 12)(x + 8) = 0
=> x = 12 or x = -8 (neglect)
So x = 12
x-4 = 8 ( because four of them did not turn up)
∴ The number of those who attended the picnic was 8.

The graphed function, F(x), has a value greater than 0 over the intervals (-0.7, 0.76) and (0.76, ∞) . F(x) > 0 over the intervals (-0.7, 0.76) and (0.76, ∞) is the correct statement [Fourth choice].
About a Graphed Function
The function graph of an object F stands for the set of all points in the plane that are (x, f(x)). The graph of f is also known as the graph of y = f. (x). The graph of an equation is thus a specific example of the graph of a function. A graphed function is a function that has been drawn out on a graph.
It is evident from the attached graph that the supplied function exceeds 0 for the following range:
-0.7 < F(x) < 0.76
And, 0.76 < F(x) < ∞
As a result, the intervals for which the given graphed function, F(x) is greater than 0 are as follows,
(-0.7, 0.76) and (0.76, ∞)
