$f(x) =x^2-ax-4x-4(5a-23)$

Let $p$ and $q$ be the roots of the equation.

From the given equation, we can see that $p+q = \dfrac{a+4}{1} = a+4$

Also we can see, $pq = \dfrac{2(5a-23)}{1} = 10a-46$

Now, $p^2+q^2 = p^2+q^2+2pq-2pq = (p+q)^2-2pq$

Putting the values of (p+q) and (pq),

$p^2+q^2 = (a+4)^2-(2)(10a-46)$

$\Rightarrow p^2+q^2 = a^2+8a+16-(20a-92)$

$\Rightarrow p^2+q^2 = a^2+8a+16-20a+92$

$\Rightarrow p^2+q^2 = a^2-12a+108$

To find the minimum value of this expression, we use completing the square method.

$\Rightarrow p^2+q^2 = a^2-12a+36-36+108$

$\Rightarrow p^2+q^2 = (a^2-12a+36)-36+108$

$\Rightarrow p^2+q^2 = (a-6)^2+72$

The least value of the square term will be 0, when a-6=0 => a=6.

Given that $U^{2}+(U-2V-1)^{2}$= −$4V(U+V)$

$\Rightarrow$ $U^{2}+(U^2-2UV-U-2UV+4V^2+2V-U+2V+1)$ = −$4V(U+V)$

$\Rightarrow$ $U^{2}+(U^2-4UV-2U+4V^2+4V+1)$ = −$4V(U+V)$

$\Rightarrow$ $2U^2-4UV-2U+4V^2+4V+1=−4UV-4V^2$

$\Rightarrow$ $2U^2-2U+8V^2+4V+1=0$

$\Rightarrow$ $2[U^2-U+\dfrac{1}{4}]+8[V^2+\dfrac{V}{2}+\dfrac{1}{16}]=0$

$\Rightarrow$ $2(U-\dfrac{1}{2})^2+8(V+\dfrac{1}{4})^2=0$

Sum of two square terms is zero i.e. individual square term is equal to zero.

$U-\dfrac{1}{2}$ = 0 and $V+\dfrac{1}{4}$ = 0

U = $\dfrac{1}{2}$ and V = $-\dfrac{1}{4}$

Therefore, $U+3V$ = $\dfrac{1}{2}$+$\dfrac{-1*3}{4}$ = $\dfrac{-1}{4}$. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Since the roots are reciprocal to each other , product of roots must be equal to 1.
Writing the given equation as  $px^2 + p^2x + p^2-4p$ = 0

So, $\frac{p^2 – 4p}{p}$ = 1

or, $p^2 – 5p$ = 0

Solving this equation, we get roots as $p$ = 0 and $p$ = 5
But, $p$ cannot be 0 because then the given equation would not be quadratic. Hence, only one value of $p$ is possible

In the passive voice, “the work” becomes the subject. The tense remains the same. Hence, D is the right answer.

In passive voice, “letter” becomes the subject of the sentence. The tense of the sentence has to stay the same. Hence C is the correct answer.

Tea is prepared from cured tea leaves. Similarly, coffee is prepared from roasted coffee beans.

Catch means to capture or get something and here the person didn’t get what was being said.Receive is incorrect because nothing was given here to be received.Thus, option A is correct.

There are 15 boys ahead of Ajay. 28 boys behind Ajay. Ajay was also in the competition and 6 didn’t participate and 5 failed.

So, total = 15 + 28 + 1 + 6 + 5 = 55

Alternate prime number after 11 leaving 13 is 17
Similarly alternate prime number after 29 leaving 31 is 37

Itaipu is the largest dam in Brazil. Similarly, 3 gorges is the largest dam in China (and the world).

C – 1 – B
A + 1 – B
R – 1 – Q
T – 1 – S
E + 1 – F
L – 1 – K

As we can see, vowels are replaced by the letter immediately following them and consonants are replaced by the letter immediately preceding them. Using the same logic,

F will be coded as E.
U will be coded as V.
T will be coded as S.
I will be coded as J.
L will be coded as K.
E will be coded as F.

Therefore, FUTILE will be coded as EVSJKF. Hence, option B is the right answer.

The words are paired from the left and each pair is arranged in ascending order.
Thus,
WANTON = AW |NT |NO
SPURGE = PS |RU |EG

GENTEL = EG | NT | EL

Following is the correct order of words as found in dictionary-
mild, milieu, militant, military, mindless
Hence, option C is the right answer.

We hope this Expected Questions for RRB NTPC Exam will be highly useful for your Preparation.
