In this case 1*2=k(k+1)

So x=2

C) 0 (Correct)
D) ab+bc+ca
Explanation:-

1 1 +
:.As Two columns are same so that using the property of determinant will be zero.

Q#4:-
= + Then find value of B?
A) 2/3
B)
C) 1/3 (Correct)
D)
Explanation:-
= +
:. +1

+ 1 = ( + 1) + (Bx+C) (x+1)
Now put x+1=0 x=-1
(1) + 1 = ((1) (1) + 1) +(B(-1)+C) ((-1)+1)
So 2=A(3) A=2/3
Now simplifies the notation:-
+1= + +Bx2+Bx+Cx+C
Comparing the co-efficient now.
1=A+B
1-2/3=B B=1/3 (Answer)

Q#24:
The slope of the line with inclination 120* is
A) 0
B) 1
C) 3 (Correct)
D) Undefined
Explanation:
As we know that
tan=m
As =120*
Also in 2nd quadrant tan is negative and so = 180
tan(180 120)=m
m=tan60*
As tangent value in 2nd Quadrant is negative.
So, m= 3 (Answer)
