Let and be the roots of the equation 5x2 + 6x – 2 = 0. If Sn = n + n, n = 1, 2, 3...., then :
- A5S6 + 6S5 = 2S4
- B5S6 + 6S5 + 2S4 = 0
- C6S6 + 5S5 + 2S4 = 0
- D6S6 + 5S5 = 2S4

Correct answer: A
-
The roots satisfy So each root satisfies
-
Rearranging, Multiply both sides by (for ):
-
This is true for both roots and . Adding for and , Using ,
-
Put : This matches option A.
-
Checking the other options:
- B says , but from the recurrence, so this would give , not generally true.
- C and D do not match the derived recurrence.
Therefore the correct option is:
Comparison with stored answer: Stored correct answer is A, which agrees with the derived result.
