Here \({a}_{n}=4, n=8, \) and \({S}_{n}=192\)
Let d be the common difference of the given AP.
Then, \({ S }_{ n }=\frac { n }{ 2 } \left[ 2a+\left( n-1 \right) d \right] \)
\(\therefore\) \(192=\frac { 8 }{ 2 } \left[ 2\times 3+\left( 8-1 \right) d \right] \)
\(\Rightarrow\) \(192=4\left( 6+7d \right) \)
\(\Rightarrow\) \(48=6+7d\)
\(\Rightarrow\) \(7d=48-6=42\)
\(\Rightarrow\) \(d=\frac { 42 }{ 7 } =6\)
Hence, d = 6
10.
Given equation is \(2x^{ 2 }-x\frac { 1 }{ 8 } =0\)
On multiplying both sides by 8, we get \(16x^{ 2 }-8x+1=0\)
\(\Rightarrow 16x^{ 2 }-4x-4x+1=0\)
\(\left[ \because (-4)X(-4)=16\quad and\quad -4-4=-8 \right] \)
\(\Rightarrow 4x(4x-1)-1(4x-1)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow 4x-1=0\Rightarrow x=\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \)
and 4x-1=0 \(\Rightarrow x=\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \)
Hence the roots of the equation \(2x^{ 2 }-x+\frac { 1 }{ 8 } =0\)are \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \quad and\quad \frac { 1 }{ 4 } \)

(c) D = 52 - 4(-2)(-2) = 25 - 16 = 9 > 0
(d) D = 62 - 4(3)(2) = 36 - 24 = 12> 0
(ii) (b): To have rational roots, discriminant (D = b2 - 4ac) should be> 0 and also a perfect square

(d) D = (-1)2 - 4(6)(11) = 1 - 264 = -263, which is not a perfect square.
(iii) (c) : To have irrational roots, discriminant (D = b2 - 4ac) should be > 0 but not a perfect square.
(a) D = 22 - 4(3)(2) = 4 - 24 = -20 < 0

(i) (b): Here \(\sqrt{8}\) = 2\(\sqrt{2}\) = product of rational and irrational numbers = irrational number
(ii) (c): Here, \(\sqrt{9}\) = 3 So, 2 + 2\(\sqrt{9}\)= 2 + 6 = 8 , which is not irrational.
(iii) (b): Here.\(\sqrt{15}\) and \(\sqrt{10}\) are both irrational and difference of two irrational numbers is also irrational.
(iv) (c): As \(\sqrt{5}\) is irrational, so its reciprocal is also irrational.

Similarly, \(\sqrt{24}\) - 9 = 2.\(\sqrt{6}\) - 9 is irrational.
And 5\(\sqrt{150}\) = 5 x 5.\(\sqrt{6}\) = 25\(\sqrt{6}\) is irrational.
