Question : If one root of the equation $Ax^{2}+Bx+C=0$ is two and a half times the others, then which of the following is true?

Option 1: $7B^{2}=3CA$

Option 2: $7B^{2}=4CA$

Option 3: $7B^{2}=36CA$

Option 4: $10B^{2}=49CA$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $10B^{2}=49CA$


Solution : $Ax^{2} + Bx + C = 0$
Let one root be $p$ and then the other root will be $2.5p$.
$⇒ p+2.5p=-\frac{B}{A}$ (sum of the roots)
$⇒ 3.5p=-\frac{B}{A}$......(i)
Also, $p\times2.5p=\frac{C}{A}$ (product of the roots)
$⇒ 2.5p^{2}=\frac{C}{A}$........(ii)
From equation (i) and (ii)
$\frac{2.5 \times B^{2}}{(3.5\times3.5\times A^{2})}
