Q62.If both the roots of the quadratic equation x2 −mx + 4 = 0 are real and distinct and they lie in the interval (1, 5), then m lies in the interval: Note: In the actual JEE paper interval was [1, 5] (1) (−5, −4) (2) (3, 4) (3) (5, 6) (4) (4, 5)

What This Question Tests

This problem requires applying multiple conditions (discriminant, function values at boundaries, and vertex position) to determine the range of a parameter for which roots lie in a specified interval.

Concepts Tested
