If a, b, c, in R and equations ax^(2) + ...

If a, b, c, `in` R and equations `ax^(2) + bx + c = 0 and x^(2) + 2x `
+ 9 = 0 have a common root, then find a: b:c .

A

`1 : 2 : 9`

B

`3 : 2 : 1`

C

`1 : 3 : 2`

D

`3 : 1 : 2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
We observe that the equation `x^(2) + 2x + 3 = 0` has imaginary roots as its discriminant is less than zero. So, given equations have all common roots
`therefore" "(a)/(1)=(b)/(2)=(c)/(3) rArr a:b:c = 1:2:3`
