if `x^3+ax+1=0 `and `x^4+ax^2+1=0` have common root then the exhaustive set of value of `a` isA. `a=2`B. `a=-2`C. `a=0`D. none of these

Answer» Correct Answer - B
We have `x^(3)+ax+1=0`
or `x^(4)+ax^(2)+x=0`……………..i
and `x^(4)+ax^(2)+1=0`……………ii
From Eqs. (i) and (ii) we get
`x-1=0`
`impliesx=1`
Which is a common root.
`:.1+a+1=0`
`impliesa=-2`
