If a, b are odd integers, then the roots of the equation 2ax2 + (2a + b) x + b = 0, a ≠ 0 is : (a) non-real (b) equal (c) irrational (d) rational

Answer»

Correct option (d) rational

Explanation:

Equation is 2ax2 + (2a + b) x + b = 0 

Discriminant = (2a + b)2 − 4 . 2a . b 

= (2a + b)2 − 8ab > 0 

∴ Roots are rational.
