The value of m for which one of the roots of `x^(2) - 3x + 2m = 0` is double of one of the roots of `x^(2) - x + m = 0` isA. -2B. 1C. 2D. none of these |
Answer» Correct Answer - 1 Let `alpha` be the root of `x^(2) - x + m = 0 and 2alpha` be the root of `x^(2) - 3x + 2m = 0`. Then, `alpha^(2) - alpha + m = 0 and 4alpha^(2) - 6alpha + 2m = 0` Eliminating `alpha, m^(2) = -2m rArr m = 0, m = -2` |
