If m is chosen in the quadratic equation

(m² + 1) x² – 3x + (m² + 1)² = 0

such that the sum of its roots is greatest, then the absolute difference of the cubes of its roots is :-

Let p, q $$ \in $$ R. If 2 - $$\sqrt 3$$ is a root of the quadratic equation, x² + px + q = 0, then :

The number of integral values of m for which the equation

(1 + m² )x² – 2(1 + 3m)x + (1 + 8m) = 0 has no real root is :

The sum of the solutions of the equation
$$\left| {\sqrt x - 2} \right| + \sqrt x \left( {\sqrt x - 4} \right) + 2 = 0$$
(x > 0) is equal to:
