Detailed Solution
The given equation is 4x2−20p x+(25p2+15p−66)=0 …..(1) As (1) has real roots, therefore, (−20p)2 −4.4 (25p2+15p−66)≥0 (∵b2−4ac≥0) ⇒ − 240 p+1056 ≥ 0 ⇒ p ≤ 225 Since, both the roots of the equation (1) are Less than 2, therefore, sum of the roots <4 ⇒ 20p4< 4 ⇒ p<45 Now, if f(x) =4x2−20 px+25p2+15p −66, Then graph of y= f(x) is an upward parabola meeting X− axis at points which lie on left of x=2 and hence f(2)>0 ⇒ 16−40p+25p2+15p−66>0 ⇒ 25p2−25p−50 >0 ⇒ p2−p−2>0 ⇒ (p−2) (p+1) >0 ⇒ p<−1 or p>2 But p< 45, therefore, p<−1 i.e. p∈(−∞,−1).
