If 5 is a root of x2 – (K – 1)x + 10 = 0, then the value of K is A) -8 B) 7 C) 8 D) 12

Answer»

Correct option is (C) 8

Given that 5 is the root of \(x^2-(K-1)x+10=0\)

\(\Rightarrow5^2-(K-1)5+10=0\)

\(\Rightarrow\) 5 (K - 1) = 25+10 = 35

\(\Rightarrow\) K - 1 \(=\frac{35}5\) = 7

\(\Rightarrow\) K = 7+1 = 8

Correct option is C) 8
