Q.11. The polynomials a x 3 - 3 x 2 + 4   a n d   2 x 3 - 5 x + a when divided by (x - 2) leave the remainder p and q respectively. If p - 2q = 4, find the value of a.

Dear Student,

Let,P(x)=ax3-3x2+4 and Q(x)=2x3-5x+aSo, when polynomials Px and Qx are divided by x-2, gives remainder p and q,therefore;P2=pi.ea23-322+4=p p=8a-12+4 p=8a-8and,Q2=qq=223-5×2+a q=6+a,now,We have,p-2q=48a-8-26+a=48a-8-12-2a=46a-20=46a=24a=4

Regards.
