Correct answer: C

  1. Given quadratic equation

    7x2−3x−2=07x^2-3x-2=07x2−3x−2=0

    If α,β\alpha,\betaα,β are its roots, then by Vieta's formulas:

    α+β=37,αβ=−27\alpha+\beta=\frac{3}{7}, \qquad \alpha\beta=\frac{-2}{7}α+β=73​,αβ=7−2​

  2. We need to find

    S=α1−α2+β1−β2S=\frac{\alpha}{1-\alpha^2}+\frac{\beta}{1-\beta^2}S=1−α2α​+1−β2β​

  3. Combine the two terms

    Using 1−α2=(1−α)(1+α),1−β2=(1−β)(1+β),1-\alpha^2=(1-\alpha)(1+\alpha), \qquad 1-\beta^2=(1-\beta)(1+\beta),1−α2=(1−α)(1+α),1−β2=(1−β)(1+β), we take a common denominator:

    S=α(1−β2)+β(1−α2)(1−α2)(1−β2)S=\frac{\alpha(1-\beta^2)+\beta(1-\alpha^2)}{(1-\alpha^2)(1-\beta^2)}S=(1−α2)(1−β2)α(1−β2)+β(1−α2)​

  4. Simplify the numerator

    α(1−β2)+β(1−α2)=α+β−αβ2−α2β\alpha(1-\beta^2)+\beta(1-\alpha^2)=\alpha+\beta-\alpha\beta^2-\alpha^2\betaα(1−β2)+β(1−α2)=α+β−αβ2−α2β

    Factor the last two terms:

    αβ2+α2β=αβ(α+β)\alpha\beta^2+\alpha^2\beta=\alpha\beta(\alpha+\beta)αβ2+α2β=αβ(α+β)

    So numerator becomes

    N=(α+β)−αβ(α+β)=(α+β)(1−αβ)N=(\alpha+\beta)-\alpha\beta(\alpha+\beta)=(\alpha+\beta)(1-\alpha\beta)N=(α+β)−αβ(α+β)=(α+β)(1−αβ)

    Substitute values:

    N=37(1−(−27))=37⋅97=2749N=\frac{3}{7}\left(1-\left(-\frac{2}{7}\right)\right)=\frac{3}{7}\cdot\frac{9}{7}=\frac{27}{49}N=73​(1−(−72​))=73​⋅79​=4927​

  5. Simplify the denominator

    D=(1−α2)(1−β2)=1−(α2+β2)+α2β2D=(1-\alpha^2)(1-\beta^2)=1-(\alpha^2+\beta^2)+\alpha^2\beta^2D=(1−α2)(1−β2)=1−(α2+β2)+α2β2

    Now,

    α2+β2=(α+β)2−2αβ\alpha^2+\beta^2=(\alpha+\beta)^2-2\alpha\betaα2+β2=(α+β)2−2αβ

    =(37)2−2(−27)=949+47=949+2849=3749=\left(\frac{3}{7}\right)^2-2\left(-\frac{2}{7}\right)=\frac{9}{49}+\frac{4}{7}=\frac{9}{49}+\frac{28}{49}=\frac{37}{49}=(73​)2−2(−72​)=499​+74​=499​+4928​=4937​

    Also,

    α2β2=(αβ)2=(−27)2=449\alpha^2\beta^2=(\alpha\beta)^2=\left(-\frac{2}{7}\right)^2=\frac{4}{49}α2β2=(αβ)2=(−72​)2=494​

    Hence,

    D=1−3749+449=49−37+449=1649D=1-\frac{37}{49}+\frac{4}{49}=\frac{49-37+4}{49}=\frac{16}{49}D=1−4937​+494​=4949−37+4​=4916​

  6. Compute SSS

    S=ND=27491649=2716S=\frac{N}{D}=\frac{\frac{27}{49}}{\frac{16}{49}}=\frac{27}{16}S=DN​=4916​4927​​=1627​

  7. Match with options

    2716\frac{27}{16}1627​ corresponds to Option C.

  8. Comparison with stored answer

    Stored correct answer: C

    Our derived answer: C

    So the answer agrees with the stored answer.
