Correct answer: C

Let the quadratic polynomial be f(x)=a(x−3)(x−r),a≠0f(x)=a(x-3)(x-r), \quad a\neq 0f(x)=a(x−3)(x−r),a=0 where 333 is one root and rrr is the other root.

We are given: f(−1)+f(2)=0f(-1)+f(2)=0f(−1)+f(2)=0

1. Compute f(−1)f(-1)f(−1) and f(2)f(2)f(2)

Using f(x)=a(x−3)(x−r)f(x)=a(x-3)(x-r)f(x)=a(x−3)(x−r),

f(−1)=a(−1−3)(−1−r)=a(−4)(−1−r)=4a(1+r)f(-1)=a(-1-3)(-1-r)=a(-4)(-1-r)=4a(1+r)f(−1)=a(−1−3)(−1−r)=a(−4)(−1−r)=4a(1+r)

and

f(2)=a(2−3)(2−r)=a(−1)(2−r)=a(r−2)f(2)=a(2-3)(2-r)=a(-1)(2-r)=a(r-2)f(2)=a(2−3)(2−r)=a(−1)(2−r)=a(r−2)

So, f(−1)+f(2)=4a(1+r)+a(r−2)=0f(-1)+f(2)=4a(1+r)+a(r-2)=0f(−1)+f(2)=4a(1+r)+a(r−2)=0

Since a≠0a\neq 0a=0, divide by aaa: 4(1+r)+(r−2)=04(1+r)+(r-2)=04(1+r)+(r−2)=0

2. Solve for rrr

4+4r+r−2=04+4r+r-2=04+4r+r−2=0 2+5r=02+5r=02+5r=0 5r=−25r=-25r=−2 r=−25r=-\frac{2}{5}r=−52​

3. Identify the interval

Now, −25=−0.4-\frac{2}{5}=-0.4−52​=−0.4 which lies in the interval (−1,0)(-1,0)(−1,0)

So the other root lies in Option C.

4. Check options systematically

  • A: (−3,−1)(-3,-1)(−3,−1) → −25∉(−3,−1)-\frac25 \notin (-3,-1)−52​∈/(−3,−1)
  • B: (1,3)(1,3)(1,3) → −25∉(1,3)-\frac25 \notin (1,3)−52​∈/(1,3)
  • C: (−1,0)(-1,0)(−1,0) → −25∈(−1,0)-\frac25 \in (-1,0)−52​∈(−1,0)
  • D: (0,1)(0,1)(0,1) → −25∉(0,1)-\frac25 \notin (0,1)−52​∈/(0,1)

Therefore, the correct answer is C.
