MCQ
The set of all real values of $\lambda$ for which the quadratic equations, $\left(\lambda^{2}+1\right) x ^{2}-4 \lambda x +2=0$ always have exactly one root in the interval $(0,1)$ is
  • A
    $(-3,-1)$
  • $(1,3]$
  • C
    $(0,2)$
  • D
    $(2,4]$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$(1,3]$
b
If exactly one root in (0,1) then

$\Rightarrow \quad f (0) \cdot f (1)<0$

$\Rightarrow \quad 2\left(\lambda^{2}-4 \lambda+3\right)<0$

$\Rightarrow \quad 1<\lambda<3$

Now for $\lambda=1,2 x ^{2}-4 x +2=0$

$(x-1)^{2}=0, x=1,1$

So both roots doesn't lie between (0,1)

$\therefore \lambda \neq 1$

Again for $\lambda=3$

$10 x^{2}-12 x+2=0$

$\Rightarrow \quad x=1, \frac{1}{5}$

so if one root is 1 then second root lie between (0,1)

so $\lambda=3$ is correct.

$\therefore \quad \lambda \in(1,3]$
