The given quadratic equation is

[tex]2 {x}^{2} - x - 3 = 0[/tex]

comparing with

[tex] {ax}^{2} + bx + c = 0[/tex]

We get ,

[tex]a = 2 \\ b = - 1 \\ c = - 3[/tex]

formula :

[tex]D = {b}^{2} - 4ac \\ \\ D = {( - 1)}^{2} - 4 \times 2 \times ( - 3) \\ \\ D = 1 - ( - 24) \\ \\D = 1 + 24 \\ \\D = 25.[/tex]

Discriminant of given quadratic equation is 25 .

option (B) 25 ✔
