If the roots of the equation a x 2 + b x + c = 0 are in the ratio m : n , then
Options
- Am n b 2 = a c m + n 2
- Bb 2 m + n = m n
- Cm + n = b 2 m n
- Dm n c 2 = a b m + n 2
Correct answer
A. m n b 2 = a c m + n 2
Step-by-step solution
Let the roots are m r and n r m r + n r = - b a ⇒ r m + n = - b a … 1 and m n r 2 = c a … 2 Eliminating r , we get b 2 m n = c a m + n 2
