Detailed Solution
The given expression is x2−(3a−1)x+2a2+2a−11 …. ( 1 )From Eq.( 1 ): the coefficient of x2>0.Hence, the given expression will assume positive values only if Δ<0From Eq.( 1 ): a=1, b=−(3a−1), c=2a2+2a−11b2−4ac<0⇒{−(3a−1)2}−4×1×(2a2+2a−11)<0⇒ 9a2−6a+1−8a2−8a+44<0⇒ a2−14a+45<0⇒ (a−5)(a−9)<0 ⇒ 5
