Consider the quadratic equation $n x^2+7 \sqrt{n x+n}=0$ where $n$ is a positive integer. Which of the following statements are necessarily correct?
$I$. For any $n$, the roots are distinct.
$II$. There are infinitely many values of $n$ for which both roots are real.
$III$. The product of the roots is necessarily an integer.
The sum of the solutions of the equation $\left| {\sqrt x - 2} \right| + \sqrt x \left( {\sqrt x - 4} \right) + 2 = 0\left( {x > 0} \right)$ is equal to
The maximum possible number of real roots of equation ${x^5} - 6{x^2} - 4x + 5 = 0$ is
A man standing on a railway platform noticed that a train took $21\, s$ to cross the platform (this means the time elapsed from the moment the engine enters the platform till the last compartment leaves the platform) which is $88\,m$ long, and that it took $9 s$ to pass him. Assuming that the train was moving with uniform speed, what is the length of the train in meters?
