Answer» Correct Answer - C Let `alpha, 4 beta` be roots of `x^(2)-6x+a=0` and `alpha, 3beta` be the roots of `x^(2)-cx+6=0` Then `alpha+4beta=6` and `4alpha beta=a`…I `alpha+3beta=c` and `3alpha beta=6`.ii From Eq I and ii we get `a=8, alpha beta=2` Now first equation becomes `x^(2)-6x+8=0` `impliesx=2,4` If `alpha-2, 4beta=4,` then `3 beta=3` If `alpha=4, 4 beta=2` then `3beta=3/2` `:.` Common root is `x=2`. |
