If the sum of squares of roots of equation `x^(2)-(sin alpha-2)x-(1+sin alpha)=0` is the least, then `alpha` is equal to

A

`pi//4`

B

`pi//3`

C

`pi//2`

D

`pi//6`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`(c )` Let `p`, `q` are roots.
`p^(2)+q^(2)=(p+q)^(2)-2pq`
`=(sinalpha-2)^(2)+2(1+sin alpha)`
`=(sin alpha-1)^(2)=5`
For least value `sin alpha=1`
`implies alpha=pi//2`
