MCQ
If ${x^2} - 3x + 2$ be a factor of ${x^4} - p{x^2} + q,$ then $(p,q) = $
- A$(3, 4)$
- B$(4, 5)$
- C$(4, 3)$
- ✓$(5, 4)$
Hence $({x^2} - 3x + 2) = 0\,\, \Rightarrow (x - 2)(x - 1) = 0$
==> $x = 2,\,1,$putting these values in given equation
so $4p - q - 16 = 0$.....$(i)$
and $p - q - 1 = 0$.....$(ii)$
Solving $(i)$ and $(ii)$, we get $(p, q)=(5, 4)$
