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.

Complete the following activity to determine the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation x2 + 2x – 9 = 0 :
Solution :
Compare x2 + 2x – 9 = 0 with ax2 + bx + c = 0
a = 1, b = 2, c = `square`
∴ b2 – 4ac = (2)2 – 4 × `square` × `square`
Δ = 4 + `square` = 40
∴ b2 – 4ac > 0
∴ The roots of the equation are real and unequal.
Statement A (Assertion): If 5 + `sqrt(7)` is a root of a quadratic equation with rational co-efficients, then its other root is 5 – `sqrt(7)`.
Statement R (Reason): Surd roots of a quadratic equation with rational co-efficients occur in conjugate pairs.
