Question

If the product of roots of equation x2 - 3(2p+4)x + (p2 - 24p + 145) = 0 is unity, then 'p' can take the values as

A 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B -12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D -10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E 11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

we know that product of roots = c/a c = p2 - 24p + 145 so, 1 = p2 - 24p + 145 p2 - 24p + 144 = 0 p2 - 24p  + 144 = 0 ⇒ (p - 12)2 = 0 ⇒ p - 12 = 0 ⇒ p = 12
