Question

The equation $${x^2} - 6x + 8 + \lambda \left( {{x^2} - 4x + 3} \right) = 0,\lambda \in R,$$         has

A. real and unequal roots for all $$\lambda $$  
B. real roots for $$\lambda < 0$$  only
C. real roots for $$\lambda > 0$$  only
D. real and unequal roots for $$\lambda = 0$$  only
Answer :   real and unequal roots for all $$\lambda $$
Solution :
$$\eqalign{ & \left( {1 + \lambda } \right){x^2} - \left( {6 + 4\lambda } \right)x + 8 + 3\lambda = 0 \cr & \therefore \,\,D = {\left( {6 + 4\lambda } \right)^2} - 4\left( {1 + \lambda } \right)\left( {8 + 3\lambda } \right) = {\lambda ^2} + \lambda + 1 > 0. \cr} $$
