Correct answer: B

  1. Since the equation ax2−2bx+15=0ax^2-2bx+15=0ax2−2bx+15=0 has a repeated root α\alphaα, its discriminant must be zero.

So, (−2b)2−4(a)(15)=0(-2b)^2-4(a)(15)=0(−2b)2−4(a)(15)=0 4b2−60a=04b^2-60a=04b2−60a=0 b2=15ab^2=15ab2=15a

  1. For a quadratic with repeated root, the root is α=−(−2b)2a=2b2a=ba\alpha=\frac{-(-2b)}{2a}=\frac{2b}{2a}=\frac{b}{a}α=2a−(−2b)​=2a2b​=ab​

Using b2=15ab^2=15ab2=15a, we get a=b215a=\frac{b^2}{15}a=15b2​ Thus, α=ba=bb2/15=15b\alpha=\frac{b}{a}=\frac{b}{b^2/15}=\frac{15}{b}α=ab​=b2/15b​=b15​

  1. Also, since α\alphaα is a root of ax2−2bx+15=0,ax^2-2bx+15=0,ax2−2bx+15=0, substitute x=αx=\alphax=α: aα2−2bα+15=0a\alpha^2-2b\alpha+15=0aα2−2bα+15=0 But because it is a repeated root, another standard relation is: α2=15a\alpha^2=\frac{15}{a}α2=a15​ Now using a=b215a=\frac{b^2}{15}a=15b2​, α2=15b2/15=225b2\alpha^2=\frac{15}{b^2/15}=\frac{225}{b^2}α2=b2/1515​=b2225​

Also from α=15b\alpha=\frac{15}{b}α=b15​, this matches.

  1. Now consider the equation x2−2bx+21=0x^2-2bx+21=0x2−2bx+21=0 whose roots are α\alphaα and β\betaβ.

By Vieta's formulas, α+β=2b,αβ=21\alpha+\beta=2b, \qquad \alpha\beta=21α+β=2b,αβ=21

Since α\alphaα is one root and from above α=15b\alpha=\frac{15}{b}α=b15​, use product relation: αβ=21\alpha\beta=21αβ=21 15bβ=21\frac{15}{b}\beta=21b15​β=21 β=21b15=7b5\beta=\frac{21b}{15}=\frac{7b}{5}β=1521b​=57b​

Now use sum relation: α+β=2b\alpha+\beta=2bα+β=2b 15b+7b5=2b\frac{15}{b}+\frac{7b}{5}=2bb15​+57b​=2b Multiply by 5b5b5b: 75+7b2=10b275+7b^2=10b^275+7b2=10b2 3b2=753b^2=753b2=75 b2=25b^2=25b2=25

Hence, α=15b,α2=22525=9\alpha=\frac{15}{b}, \qquad \alpha^2=\frac{225}{25}=9α=b15​,α2=25225​=9

  1. Since αβ=21\alpha\beta=21αβ=21, β2=212α2=4419=49\beta^2=\frac{21^2}{\alpha^2}=\frac{441}{9}=49β2=α2212​=9441​=49

Therefore, α2+β2=9+49=58\alpha^2+\beta^2=9+49=58α2+β2=9+49=58

  1. Hence the correct option is 58\boxed{58}58​ which is option B\boxed{B}B​.
