Solution
The correct option is Ca>3 The expression is always positive that means the discriminant of the equation is always less than zero . So, 4(2a−3)2−4(a−2)(5a−6)<0 (16a2+36−48a)−(20a2−64a+48)<0 (−4a2+16a−12)<0 (−4)(a2−4a+3)<0 (a−3)(a−1)>0 So, the expression will be positive for a>3 and a<1 Option C is correct .
