Correct answer: B

  1. Let the two roots of (a2−5a+3)x2+(3a−1)x+2=0\left(a^2-5a+3\right)x^2+(3a-1)x+2=0(a2−5a+3)x2+(3a−1)x+2=0 be rrr and 2r2r2r.

Then, by Vieta's formulas for Ax2+Bx+C=0,Ax^2+Bx+C=0,Ax2+Bx+C=0, we have: r+2r=3r=−BA,r+2r=3r=-\frac{B}{A},r+2r=3r=−AB​, r⋅2r=2r2=CA,r\cdot 2r=2r^2=\frac{C}{A},r⋅2r=2r2=AC​, where A=a2−5a+3,B=3a−1,C=2.A=a^2-5a+3,\quad B=3a-1,\quad C=2.A=a2−5a+3,B=3a−1,C=2.

So, 3r=−3a−1a2−5a+33r=-\frac{3a-1}{a^2-5a+3}3r=−a2−5a+33a−1​ and 2r2=2a2−5a+3.2r^2=\frac{2}{a^2-5a+3}.2r2=a2−5a+32​. Hence, r2=1a2−5a+3.r^2=\frac{1}{a^2-5a+3}.r2=a2−5a+31​.

  1. Now square the expression for rrr obtained from the sum of roots.

From 3r=−3a−1a2−5a+3,3r=-\frac{3a-1}{a^2-5a+3},3r=−a2−5a+33a−1​, we get r=−3a−13(a2−5a+3).r=-\frac{3a-1}{3(a^2-5a+3)}.r=−3(a2−5a+3)3a−1​. Therefore, r2=(3a−1)29(a2−5a+3)2.r^2=\frac{(3a-1)^2}{9(a^2-5a+3)^2}.r2=9(a2−5a+3)2(3a−1)2​.

But also, r2=1a2−5a+3.r^2=\frac{1}{a^2-5a+3}.r2=a2−5a+31​. So, (3a−1)29(a2−5a+3)2=1a2−5a+3.\frac{(3a-1)^2}{9(a^2-5a+3)^2}=\frac{1}{a^2-5a+3}.9(a2−5a+3)2(3a−1)2​=a2−5a+31​.

Multiplying through, (3a−1)2=9(a2−5a+3).(3a-1)^2=9(a^2-5a+3).(3a−1)2=9(a2−5a+3).

  1. Expand both sides: 9a2−6a+1=9a2−45a+27.9a^2-6a+1=9a^2-45a+27.9a2−6a+1=9a2−45a+27.

Cancel 9a29a^29a2 from both sides: −6a+1=−45a+27.-6a+1=-45a+27.−6a+1=−45a+27.

So, 39a=26,39a=26,39a=26, a=2639=23.a=\frac{26}{39}=\frac{2}{3}.a=3926​=32​.

  1. Check that the quadratic remains quadratic: A=a2−5a+3=49−103+3=4−30+279=19≠0.A=a^2-5a+3=\frac{4}{9}-\frac{10}{3}+3=\frac{4-30+27}{9}=\frac{1}{9}\ne 0.A=a2−5a+3=94​−310​+3=94−30+27​=91​=0. So this value is valid.

  2. Compare with options:

  • A: −13-\frac13−31​
  • B: 23\frac2332​
  • C: −23-\frac23−32​
  • D: 13\frac1331​

Thus the correct option is 23\boxed{\frac23}32​​ which is option B\boxed{\text{B}}B​.
