Answer: (a) degree of p(x) < degree of g(x)

Explanation:

We know that, p(x)= g(x) × q(x) + r(x) 

Given that, q(x) = 0 

When q(x) = 0, then r(x) = 0

So, now when we divide p(x) by g(x),

Then p(x) should be equal to zero.

If r(x) = 0, then the degree of p(x) < degree of g(x).

65. If on division of a polynomial p(x) by a polynomial g(x), the quotient is zero, then the relation between the degrees of p(x) and g(x) is

(a) degree of p(x) < degree of g(x)

(b) degree of p(x) = degree of g(x)

(c) degree of p(x) > degree of g(x) 

(d) nothing can be said about degrees of p(x) and g(x)

Answer: (a) degree of p(x) < degree of g(x)

Explanation:

We know that, p(x)= g(x) × q(x) + r(x) 

Given that, q(x) = 0 

When q(x) = 0, then r(x) = 0

So, now when we divide p(x) by g(x),

Then p(x) should be equal to zero.

If r(x) = 0, then the degree of p(x) < degree of g(x).

66. By division algorithm of polynomials, p(x) =

(a) g(x) × q(x) + r(x)

(b) g(x) × q(x) – r(x)

(c) g(x) × q(x) × r(x)

(d) g(x) + q(x) + r(x)

Answer: (a) g(x) × q(x) + r(x)

By division algorithm of polynomials, p(x) = g(x) × q(x) + r(x).
