Three students each compute a discriminant: Sita gets D = 0, Gita gets D = 25, Rita gets D = -4.
Who among them has a quadratic with NO real roots?

Class 10Discriminant and Nature of RootsAlgebra — Quadratics
  • ARita
  • BSita
  • CGita
  • DSita and Gita

Step-by-Step Solution

D < 0 means no real roots. Rita's D = -4 < 0, so only Rita's quadratic has no real roots. Sita (D=0) has equal roots and Gita (D=25) has distinct roots.
Answer: A) Rita
