उत्तर
Let the age of one friend be x years.
Then the age of the other friend will be (20 - x) years.
4 years ago,
Age of 1st friend = (x - 4) years
Age of 2nd friend = (20 - x - 4) = (16 - x) years
According to the question,
(x - 4) (16 - x) = 48
16x - x2 - 64 + 4x = 48
- x2 + 20x - 112 = 0
x2 - 20x + 112 = 0
Comparing this equation with ax2 + bx + c = 0, we get
a = 1, b = -20 and c = 112
Discriminant = b2 - 4ac = (-20)2 - 4 × 112
= 400 - 448
= -48
b2 - 4ac < 0
Therefore, there will be no real solution possible for the equations. Such type of condition doesn't exist.
