Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : -1 Given: Dividend1 = kx3 + 4x2 + 3x - 4 Dividend2 = x3 - 4x + k Divisor = (x - 3) Formula Used: Dividend = (divisor × quotient) + Reminder Calculation: x - 3 = 0 Then, x = 3 By substituting the value of x, we'll get kx3 + 4x2 + 3x - 4 = k(3)3 + 4(3)2 + 3(3) - 4 = 27k + 36 + 9 - 4 = 27k + 41 ----(i) x3 - 4x + k = 33 - 4(3) + k = 27 - 12 + k = 15 + k ----(ii) Both the dividends leave equal reminders then equating (i) and (ii) 27k + 41 = 15 + k ⇒ 26k = -26 ⇒ k = -1 ∴ The value of k is -1 |
