दो भिन्न बहुपद $f(x)$ और $g(x)$ इस प्रकार हैं: $f(x)=x^2+a x+2 ; \quad g(x)=x^2+2 x+a \text {. }$

यदि समीकरण $f(x)=0, g(x)=0$ का एक शून्यक साझा हो तो, समीकरण $f(x)+g(x)=0$ के शून्यकों का योग होगा :

A

$-\frac{1}{2}$

B

$0$

C

$\frac{1}{2}$

D

$1$

Solution

(c)

We have,

$f(x)=x^2+a x+2$ and $g(x)=x^2+2 x+a$

Let $\alpha$ be the common root of $f(x)=0$ and $g(x)=0$.

$\frac{\alpha^2}{a^2-4}=\frac{\alpha}{2-a}$

$\Rightarrow \alpha=\begin{array}{c}a^2-4 \\ 2-a\end{array}=\frac{(a+2)(a-2)}{-(a-2)}=-(a+2)$

and $\quad \frac{\alpha}{2-a}=\frac{1}{2-a} \Rightarrow \alpha=1$

$\therefore \quad-(a+2)=1$

$a+2=-1 \Rightarrow a=-3$

Now $\quad f(x)+g(x)=0$

$\therefore x^2-3 x+2+x^2+2 x-3=0$

$2 x^2-x-1=0$

Sum of roots $=\frac{1}{2} \quad\left[\because \alpha+\beta=\frac{-b}{a}\right]$
