Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\alpha\) is root of \(x^2-5 x+\lambda=0\) and \(x^2-8 x-2 \lambda=0\) \(\Rightarrow \alpha^2-5 \alpha+\lambda=0\)...(i) and \(\alpha^2-8 \alpha-2 \lambda=0\)...(ii) Subtracting (ii) from (i), we get \(3 \alpha+3 \lambda=0 \Rightarrow \alpha=-\lambda\) As \(\alpha\) is root of…
