If x 2 - 3 x + 2 is a factor of x 4 -   p x 2 + q , then p ,   q are
Options
- A2 , 3
- B4 , 5
- C5 , 4
- D0 , 0
Correct answer
C. 5 , 4
Step-by-step solution
x 2 -   3 x + 2 = 0   ∵   x = 1 ,   2 Since x 2 -   3 x + 2 is a factor of x 4 -   p x 2 + q , the roots 1 , 2 are also roots of x 4 -   p x 2 + q = 0 1 -   p + q = 0 and 16 -   4 p + q = 0 Solving, we get p = 5 ,   q = 4
