Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`:'alpha^(2)-6alpha-2=0impliesalpha^(2)-2=6alpha`…..i
and `beta^(2)-6beta-2=0impliesbeta^(2)-2=6beta`…………ii
`:.(a_(10)-2a_(8))/(2a_(9))=((alpha^(10)-beta^(10))-2(alpha^(8)-beta^(8)))/(2(alpha^(9)-beta^(9)))`
`=(alpha^(8)(alpha^(2)-2)(-beta^(8)(beta^(2)-2))/(2(alpha^(9)-beta^(9)))`
`=(alpha^(8).6alpha-beta^(8).6 beta)/(2(alpha^(9)-beta^(9)))` [from Eqs i and ii ]
`=(6(alpha^(9)-beta^(9)))/(2(alpha^(9)-beta^(9)))=3`
