Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(4: 3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\alpha+\beta+\gamma=13\) \(\beta-\gamma=2\) \(\Rightarrow \beta = (15-\alpha)/2\), \(\gamma = (11-\alpha)/2\) \(\alpha\beta\gamma = -189 \Rightarrow \alpha \left(\frac{15-\alpha}{2}\right) \left(\frac{11-\alpha}{2}\right) = -189\)…
