Question:

Match the corresponding equations List-I with solutions List-II.

List-IList-II
A. \(5x^2=0\)I. \(x=0,16\)
B. \(2x^2-32=0\)II. \(x=\pm4\)
C. \(2x^2+32=0\)III. \(x=0\)
D. \(2x^2-32x=0\)IV. \(x=\pm4i\)

Show Hint

When \(x^2\) becomes negative, roots become imaginary. For example, \(x^2=-16\Rightarrow x=\pm4i\).

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Quadratic equations are solved by factorisation or by isolating \(x^2\).

Step 1:
Solve equation A.
\[ 5x^2=0 \] \[ x^2=0 \] \[ x=0 \] So, \[ A \rightarrow III \]

Step 2:
Solve equation B.
\[ 2x^2-32=0 \] \[ 2x^2=32 \] \[ x^2=16 \] \[ x=\pm4 \] So, \[ B \rightarrow II \]

Step 3:
Solve equation C.
\[ 2x^2+32=0 \] \[ 2x^2=-32 \] \[ x^2=-16 \] \[ x=\pm4i \] So, \[ C \rightarrow IV \]

Step 4:
Solve equation D.
\[ 2x^2-32x=0 \] \[ 2x(x-16)=0 \] \[ x=0,\ 16 \] So, \[ D \rightarrow I \] Therefore, the correct matching is: \[ A-III,\ B-II,\ C-IV,\ D-I \]
