The value of k for which (-a) will be a root of the quadratic equation `x^(2)+3ax+k=0` is

A

`a^(2)`

B

`-a^(2)`

C

`-2a^(2)`

D

`2a^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We have, `x^(2)+3ax+k=0`
or, `(-a)^(2)+3a.(-a)+k=0" "[:'-a` is a root]
or, `a^(2)-3a^(2)+k=0`
or, `-2a^(2)+k=0or,k=2a^(2)`
`:.` (d) is correct.
