Let α1,α2\alpha_{1}, \alpha_{2} and β1,β2\beta_{1}, \beta_{2} be the roots of ax2+bx+c=0a x^{2}+b x+c=0 and px2+qx+r=0\mathrm{px}^{2}+\mathrm{qx}+\mathrm{r}=0 respectively. If the system of equations α1y+α2z=0\alpha_{1} \mathrm{y}+\alpha_{2} \mathrm{z}=0 and β1y+β2z=0\beta_{1} \mathrm{y}+\beta_{2} \mathrm{z}=0 has a non-trivial solution, then

Options

  1. Ab2q2=acpr\frac{b^{2}}{q^{2}}=\frac{a c}{p r}
  2. B\mathrmc2\mathrmr2=abpq\frac{\mathrmc^{2}}{\mathrmr^{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{ab}}{\mathrm{pq}}
  3. Ca2p2=bcqr\frac{a^{2}}{p^{2}}=\frac{b c}{q r}
  4. DNone of these

Correct answer

A. b2q2=acpr\frac{b^{2}}{q^{2}}=\frac{a c}{p r}

Step-by-step solution

Since α1,α2\alpha_{1}, \alpha_{2} and β1,β2\beta_{1}, \beta_{2} are the roots of ax 2+bx+c=0^{2}+b x+c=0 and px2+qx+r=0p x^{2}+q x+r=0 respectively therefore \alpha_{1}+\alpha_{2}=−ba,α1α2=ca\frac{-b}{a}, \alpha_{1} \alpha_{2}=\frac{c}{a}and β1+β2=−qp,β1β2=rp\beta_{1}+\beta_{2}=\frac{-q}{p}, \beta_{1} \beta_{2}=\frac{r}{p} Since the given system of equation has a non-trivial solution \therefore\left|α1α2β1β2\begin{array}{ll} \alpha_{1}& \alpha_{2} \\ \beta_{1} & \beta_{2} \end{array}\right|=0\text{ i.e. } \alpha_{1} \beta_{2}-\alpha_{2} \beta_{1}=0or0 or\quad \frac{\alpha_{1}}{\beta_{1}}=\frac{\alpha_{2}}{\beta_{2}}=\frac{\alpha_{1}+\alpha_{2}}{\beta_{1}+\beta_{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{\alpha_{1} \alpha_{2}}{\beta_{1} \beta_{2}}}\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{pb}}{\mathrm{qa}}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{pc}}{\mathrm{ra}}} \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrmb^{2}}{\mathrmq^{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{ac}}{\mathrm{pr}}
