Multiple Choice Options

  • A 7
  • B 8
  • C 3
  • D 6

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Expression is always positive it

2m + 1 > 0 ⇒\Rightarrow m > −- 12{1 \over 2} &

D < 0 ⇒\Rightarrow m2 −- 6m −- 3 < 0

      3 −- 12\sqrt {12} < m < 3 + 12\sqrt {12} . . . . (iii)

∴\therefore   Common interval is

3 −- 12\sqrt {12} < m < 3 + 12\sqrt {12}

∴\therefore   Intgral value of m {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
