Answer:

The best option is:

(a) I and II only

Step-by-step explanation:

Each kind of bond has a face value, usually known as par value. If a bond sells above the par value, it is a premium bond, if it sells below the par value, it is a discount bond. Hence first statement is true.

If a bond has a selling rate of 100, it means it is selling at its par value. For example if a bond has a par value of $100, then a selling rate of 100 means it sells at 100$, a selling rate of 90 means it sell at 90$, a selling rate of 120 means it sells at $120. For a premium bond, the selling rate is always above 100. Hence second statement is true.

Premium bonds are mostly sold by corporations, but alot of scheme of trading premium bonds have also been introduced by governments all around the world. We can say that the statement can be true for some specific country, but globally speaking, the statement is false.

Answer:

This question is clearly incomplete, so i will answer it in a really general way.

Suppose that for a quadratic function, we know that the x-intercepts are a and b.

And we also know that this function passes through the point (c, d).

First a definition, for a n-degree polynomial with the x-intercepts {x₁, x₂, ...,xₙ} and a leading coefficient K, we can write this polynomial in the factorized form as:

p(x) = K*(x - x₁)*(x - x₂)*...*(x - xₙ)

Now let's do the same for our quadratic function, we can write it as:

f(x) = K*(x - a)*(x - b)

(where a and b are known numbers)

Now we also know that this function passes through the point (c, d)

This means that:

f(c) = d

then:

d = K*(c - a)*(c - b)

With this equation we can find the value of K,

K = d/( (c-a)*(c - b))

Then the quadratic function is:
