If the discriminant $b^2-4ac > 0$, the quadratic equation has
Atwo equal real roots
Bno real roots
Ctwo distinct real roots
Dexactly one root
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. two distinct real roots
1. The discriminant decides the nature of the roots.
2. If $b^2-4ac>0$, the equation has **two distinct real roots**.
3. ($=0$ gives two equal roots; $<0$ gives no real roots.)
