If each of the coefficients a, b, c in the equation a x^2+b x+c=0 is determined by throwing a die, then the probability that the equation will have equal roots, is
Options
- A1 36
- B1 72
- C7 216
- D5 216
Correct answer
D. 5 216
Step-by-step solution
a x^2+b x+c=0 For equal roots, b^2=4 a c array |c|c|c| b & ( a , c ) & Total 1 & - & 0 2 & (1,1) & 1 3 & - & 0 4 & (1,4)(4,1)(2,2) & 3 5 & - & 0 6 & (3,3) & 1 array Required probability = 5 216
