Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(a b-3 c\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If \(\alpha, \beta, \gamma\) are the roots of the equation. \[ x^3-a x^2+b x-c=0 \] Then, \(\alpha+\beta+\gamma=a, \alpha \beta+\beta \gamma+\gamma \alpha=b\) and \(\alpha \beta \gamma=c\). Now, \(\Sigma \alpha^2(\beta+\gamma)=\Sigma \alpha^2(a-\alpha)\) [as…
