Solution
The correct option is C3 Given, f(x)=4x2−16x+k=0,k∈R and 1<α<2 and 2<β<3 As a=4>0, (i) f(1)>0 ⇒4−16+k>0 k>12 (ii) f(3)>0 ⇒36−48+k>0 k>12 (iii) Discriminant, D>0 ⇒256−16k>0 k<16 (iv) f(2)<0 16−32+k<0 ⇒k<16 The integral value of k=13,14,15. The no. of integral values are 3. The correct answer is option C.
