Solution
Given quadratic equation is: $x^2-m x+4=0$
Both the roots are real and distinct.
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore m^2-4 \cdot 1 \cdot 4>0 \\
& \therefore(m-4)(m+4)>0 \\
& \therefore m \in(-\infty,-4) \cup(4, \infty)
\end{aligned}
$$
∵ both roots lies in [1, 5]
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore-\frac{-m}{2} \in(1,5) \\
& \Rightarrow m \in(2,10)
\end{aligned}
$$
And 1 $(1-m+4)>0 \Rightarrow m<5 m \in(-x, 5)$
And $1 \cdot(25-5 m+4)>0=$
$$
m<\frac{29}{5}
$$
$$
\therefore \quad m \in\left(-x, \frac{29}{5}\right)
$$
