The 3rd option is correct
The correct answer would be B
1) The solution for m² - 5m - 14 = 0 are x=7 and x=-2.
2)The solution for b² - 4b + 4 = 0 is x=2.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
The general form of quadratic equation is ax²+bx+c = 0
where
- a is the coefficient of x².
- b is the coefficient of x.
- c is the constant term.
<u>To find the roots :</u>
- Sum of the roots = b
- Product of the roots = c
1) The given quadratic equation is m² - 5m - 14 = 0.
From the above equation, it can be determined that b = -5 and c = -14
The roots are -7 and 2.
- Sum of the roots = -7+2 = -5
- Product of the roots = -7
2 = -14
The solution is given by (x-7) (x+2) = 0.
Therefore, the solutions are x=7 and x= -2.
2) The given quadratic equation is b² - 4b + 4 = 0.
From the above equation, it can be determined that b = -4 and c = 4
The roots are -2 and -2.
- Sum of the roots = -2-2 = -4
- Product of the roots = -2
-2 = 4
The solution is given by (x-2) (x-2) = 0.
Therefore, the solution is x=2.
Answer: Option 'c' is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Probability that they were left handed P(L)= 40%
Probability that they were Democrats P(D)= 47%
So, P(L∩D) = 135 = 0.13
Now, to check whether they are independent or not.
We will find P(L) × P(D) is given by

Since P(L) . P(D) ≠ P(L∩D)
So, they are not independent.
Hence, Option 'c' is correct.
