Options
- A3
- B12
- C9
- D4
Correct answer
B. 12
Step-by-step solution
Given equation, The equation whose roots are k times the roots of the eq. (i), is aligned & ( x k )^3+ 1 4 ( x k )^3- 1 16 ( x k )+ 1 144 =0 & x^3+ k 4 x^2- k^2 16 x+ k^3 144 =0 aligned Also given that, coefficients of the above equation are integer. k=12
