If `a ,b ,c in Ra n da b c<0` , then equation `b c x^2+2b+c-a)x+a=0h a s` both positive roots both negative roots real roots one positive and one negative root

A

both positive roots

B

both negatie roots

C

real roots

D

one positive and one negative root

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
3,4
Product of roots is
`(a)/(bc) lt 0 [ because abc lt 0 ]`
Hence, roots are real and of opposite sign.
