The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the quadratic equation given and utilize the properties of its roots. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given quadratic equation**: The equation is given as: \[ lx^2 - mx + m = 0 \] where \( l \neq m \) and \( l \neq 0 \). 2. **Use Vieta's formulas**: According to Vieta's formulas, for a quadratic equation of the form \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \): - The sum of the roots \( \alpha + \beta = -\frac{b}{a} \) - The product of the roots \( \alpha \beta = \frac{c}{a} \) For our equation: - \( \alpha + \beta = \frac{m}{l} \) - \( \alpha \beta = \frac{m}{l} \) 3. **Express \( \sqrt{\frac{\alpha}{\beta}} + \sqrt{\frac{\beta}{\alpha}} \)**: We can express this as: \[ \sqrt{\frac{\alpha}{\beta}} + \sqrt{\frac{\beta}{\alpha}} = \frac{\sqrt{\alpha^2} + \sqrt{\beta^2}}{\sqrt{\alpha \beta}} = \frac{\alpha + \beta}{\sqrt{\alpha \beta}} \] 4. **Substituting the values from Vieta's formulas**: Now substituting the values we found: \[ \sqrt{\frac{\alpha}{\beta}} + \sqrt{\frac{\beta}{\alpha}} = \frac{\frac{m}{l}}{\sqrt{\frac{m}{l}}} \] 5. **Simplifying the expression**: This simplifies to: \[ \sqrt{\frac{m}{l}} \] 6. **Final equation**: We can write: \[ \sqrt{\frac{\alpha}{\beta}} + \sqrt{\frac{\beta}{\alpha}} - \sqrt{\frac{m}{l}} = 0 \] ### Conclusion: From the above steps, we can conclude that the correct statement among the options provided is: \[ \sqrt{\frac{\alpha}{\beta}} + \sqrt{\frac{\beta}{\alpha}} = \sqrt{\frac{m}{l}} \]
