If the set of all values of $a$, for which the equation $5 x ^3-15 x - a =0$ has three distinct real roots, is the interval $(\alpha, \beta)$, then $\beta-2 \alpha$ is equal to _____

A$46$
B$33$
C$25$
D$30$
(JEE MAIN-2025)

Solution

$5 x^3-15 x-a=0$
$f(x)=5 x^3-15 x$
$f(x)=15 x^2-15=15(x-1)(x+1)$
