Options
- A1
- B2
- C3
- D0
Correct answer
B. 2
Step-by-step solution
Let (x ) is the common root of the equations (x^3+x^2-2 x-2=0 and x^3-x^2-2 x+2=0 ) So, ( ) will satisfy both the equations ( array ll Now, & ^3+ ^2-2 -2=0 and & ^3- ^2-2 +2=0 array ) On subtraction, we get (2 ^2-2=0 = 1. ) So, there are 2 common roots.
