oh iit prepper!!
keep going
Hmmm r u an iitian ?
sadly no, but i have prepared for one and i think i came through this question once
Actually i was surfing through some IIT Papers as i am giving the exam in 2016 and i saw this problem looked straight forward
okay.. ill guide you
I found the quadratic equation
\[\alpha \beta x ^{2} - (\alpha ^{2}+\beta ^{2})x +\alpha \beta =0 \]
first use \[\alpha ^{3} + \beta ^{3}=(\alpha + \beta)^{3}-3\alpha \beta(\alpha+\beta)\] \[now, you know values of \alpha ^{3} + \beta ^{3} and (\alpha+\beta)\] substitute above and get value of \[\alpha \beta\] ....(1) now use sum of roots property=(-b/a)=\[\alpha/\beta + \beta/\alpha \] on taking lcm, \[(\alpha ^{2} + \beta ^{2})/\alpha \beta \] ......(2) now \[\alpha ^{2} +\beta ^{2} = (\alpha+\beta)^{2} -2\alpha \beta\] substitute in (1) put value of \[\alpha+\beta=-p (given \in question)\] and value of \[\alpha \beta \] from (1) and solve for sum of roots compare this with (-b/a) of the equations given as option
got it!!!!
yes thank you!
