Let be a real number. Let be the roots of the equation and be the roots of the equation . Then and are the roots of the equation
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Given equations and common root
We are given: with roots , and with roots .
Since is a common root, it satisfies both equations:
- Eliminate to find
Multiply (1) by and (2) by :
Subtracting,
So,
But if , then from (1), , which is not allowed since .
Hence,
- Find using product of roots of first equation
For product of roots is
Substitute :
- Find using product of roots of second equation
For product of roots is
Substitute :
- Compute the required new roots
First root:
Second root:
So the required quadratic has roots:
- Find from sum of roots relation
For the first equation,
Substitute :
But we also found:
Therefore,
Thus the new roots are:
- Form the quadratic equation
Sum of roots:
Product of roots:
Hence the equation is:
Multiplying by :
- Check options
This matches:
Option B:
