Let $m$ and $n$ be positive integers, If $x^2 + mx + 2n = 0$ and $x^2 + 2nx + m = 0$ have real roots, then the smallest possible value of $m + n$ is

Suppose $k$ is any integer such that the equation $2 x^{2}+k x+5=0$ has no real roots and the equation $x^{2}+(k-5) x+1=0$ has two distinct real roots for $x$. Then, the number of possible values of $k$ is

Suppose one of the roots of the equation $ax^2 - bx + c = 0$ is $2+\sqrt{3}$ where a, b and c are rational numbers and $a \neq 0$. If $b = c^3$ then $|a|$ equals
