    Question

    Which of the following is reducible to a quadratic equation?
     (A) (m+1)1(m+1)=65 (B) x3+3x=2x34x2 (C) (a+b)2=3b (D) x+(3x2)=1x26(A)\ (m+1)-\frac1{(m+1)}=65\\ \ \\ (B) \ x^3+3x=2x^3-4x^2 \\ \ \\ (C) \ (a+b)^2=\frac3b\\ \ \\ (D) \ x+(3x-2)=\frac1{x^2} -6

    A.

    A

    B.

    D

    C.

    B

    D.

    C

    Correct option is A

    Concept Used:

    General form of quadratic equation:

    ax2+bx+c=0ax^2+bx+c=0​​

    Solution: 

    Solving each statement; 

    (A) : (m + 1) - 1m+1\frac{1}{m+1} = 65

    Let  y = m + 1  The equation becomes:
    y -  1y\frac{1}{y}​ = 65

    y2​ - 1 = 65y

    y2 - 65y - 1 = 0 

    This is a quadratic equation.

    (B):    x3 + 3x - 2x3- 4x3  = 0 
    Rearrange terms:

    ​x3 + 3x - 2x3 + 4x3  = 0

    ​-x3 + 4x2+ 3x = 0

    x(-x2 + 4x + 3) = 0
    This is not a quadratic equation.

    (C): 
    a2 + 2ab + b2=  3b\frac{3}{b} 

    b(a2 + 2ab + b2) = 3

    This is not a quadratic equation.

    (D):  x + (3x - 2) = 1x2\frac{1}{x^2}​​ - 6

    x + 3x - 2  =  1x2\frac{1}{x^2}  - 6

    4x - 2 + 6  =   1x2\frac{1}{x^2} 

    4x + 4  =   1x2\frac{1}{x^2} 

    4x3 + 4x2=  1
    This is not a quadratic equation.
    Thus, only statement (A) is correct
