Theory of Equations 1 Question 37

38. Let a,b,c,p,q be the real numbers. Suppose α,β are the roots of the equation x2+2px+q=0. and α,1β are the roots of the equation ax2+2bx+c=0, where β21,0,1.

Statement I (p2q)(b2ac)0

Statement II bpa or cqa.

Answer:

Correct Answer: 38. (b)

Solution:

  1. Given, x2+2px+q=0

α+β=2pαβ=q And ax2+2bx+c=0α+1β=2ba and αβ=ca

Now, (p2q)(b2ac)

=α+β22αβ2α+1β22αβa2=(αβ)216α1β2a20

Statement I is true.

Again, now pa=α+β2a=a2(α+β)

and b=a2α+1β

Since,

pabα+1βα+β

β21,β1,0,1, which is correct.

Similarly, if cqa

aαβaαβαβ1β0α0 and β1β0β1,0,1

Statement II is true.

Both Statement I and Statement II are true. But Statement II does not explain Statement I.
