If the roots of the equation `ax^2 + bx + c = 0, a != 0 (a, b, c` are real numbers), are imaginary and `a + c < b,` thenA. Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.B. Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.C. Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False.D. Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Clearly, statement-2 is true.
To check the truth of statement-1, let us assume that each one of the given equation has real roots. Then, `b^(2) - 4ac gt 0, c^(2) - 4ab ge 0 and a^(2) - 4bc ge 0`
`rArr" "b^(2) ge 4ac, c^(2) ge 4ab and a^(2) ge 4bc`
`rArr" "a^(2) b^(2) c^(2) ge 64 a^(2) b^(2) c^(2)`, which is not possible.
So, our supposition is wrong. Therefore, at least one of the given equations has imaginary roots.
Hence, statement-1 is true.
Clearly, statement-2 is not a correct explanation for statement-1.
