Correct answer: A

  1. Let the roots of x2+ax+b=0x^2+ax+b=0x2+ax+b=0 be α,β\alpha,\betaα,β and the roots of x2+bx+a=0x^2+bx+a=0x2+bx+a=0 be γ,δ\gamma,\deltaγ,δ.

  2. “Difference between the corresponding roots is same” means the two equations have roots differing by a common constant kkk. So we may write γ=α+k,δ=β+k.\gamma=\alpha+k,\qquad \delta=\beta+k.γ=α+k,δ=β+k.

  3. Using sum of roots:

    • For x2+ax+b=0x^2+ax+b=0x2+ax+b=0, α+β=−a.\alpha+\beta=-a.α+β=−a.
    • For x2+bx+a=0x^2+bx+a=0x2+bx+a=0, γ+δ=−b.\gamma+\delta=-b.γ+δ=−b.

    Hence, γ+δ=(α+k)+(β+k)=α+β+2k=−a+2k.\gamma+\delta=(\alpha+k)+(\beta+k)=\alpha+\beta+2k=-a+2k.γ+δ=(α+k)+(β+k)=α+β+2k=−a+2k. Therefore, −b=−a+2k  ⟹  2k=a−b.-b=-a+2k\implies 2k=a-b.−b=−a+2k⟹2k=a−b. So, k=a−b2.k=\frac{a-b}{2}.k=2a−b​.

  4. Using product of roots:

    • For x2+ax+b=0x^2+ax+b=0x2+ax+b=0, αβ=b.\alpha\beta=b.αβ=b.
    • For x2+bx+a=0x^2+bx+a=0x2+bx+a=0, γδ=a.\gamma\delta=a.γδ=a.

    Now, γδ=(α+k)(β+k)=αβ+k(α+β)+k2.\gamma\delta=(\alpha+k)(\beta+k)=\alpha\beta+k(\alpha+\beta)+k^2.γδ=(α+k)(β+k)=αβ+k(α+β)+k2. Substitute αβ=b\alpha\beta=bαβ=b and α+β=−a\alpha+\beta=-aα+β=−a: a=b−ak+k2.a=b-ak+k^2.a=b−ak+k2.

  5. Substitute k=a−b2k=\dfrac{a-b}{2}k=2a−b​: a=b−a(a−b2)+(a−b2)2.a=b-a\left(\frac{a-b}{2}\right)+\left(\frac{a-b}{2}\right)^2.a=b−a(2a−b​)+(2a−b​)2.

    Multiply by 444: 4a=4b−2a(a−b)+(a−b)2.4a=4b-2a(a-b)+(a-b)^2.4a=4b−2a(a−b)+(a−b)2.

    Expand: 4a=4b−2a2+2ab+a2−2ab+b24a=4b-2a^2+2ab+a^2-2ab+b^24a=4b−2a2+2ab+a2−2ab+b2 4a=4b−a2+b2.4a=4b-a^2+b^2.4a=4b−a2+b2.

    Rearranging: a2+4a=b2+4ba^2+4a=b^2+4ba2+4a=b2+4b a2−b2+4a−4b=0a^2-b^2+4a-4b=0a2−b2+4a−4b=0 (a−b)(a+b)+4(a−b)=0(a-b)(a+b)+4(a-b)=0(a−b)(a+b)+4(a−b)=0 (a−b)(a+b+4)=0.(a-b)(a+b+4)=0.(a−b)(a+b+4)=0.

  6. Given a≠ba\ne ba=b, we must have a+b+4=0.a+b+4=0.a+b+4=0.

  7. Checking options:

    • A: a+b+4=0a+b+4=0a+b+4=0 ✓
    • B: a+b−4=0a+b-4=0a+b−4=0 ✗
    • C: a−b−4=0a-b-4=0a−b−4=0 ✗
    • D: a−b+4=0a-b+4=0a−b+4=0 ✗

Therefore, the correct option is A.
