What is the condition that one root of the equation `ax^(2) + bx + c= 0 " "a!=0` should be double the other ?

A

` a gt 0 , b gt 0 , c gt 0 , `

B

` a gt 0 , b lt 0 , c gt0 `

C

` a lt 0 , b gt 0 , c lt 0 `

D

` a lt 0 , c gt 0 `

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Since one root of `ax^(2) + bx + c = 0 , alpha !=0` is positive and another root is negative which is possible only if `alpha `a gt 0, b lt 0, c gt0.`
