Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(642\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\alpha, \beta\) and \(\gamma\) are the roots of \(x^3-6 x^2+3 x+10=0\) Also, let \(\beta=\frac{\alpha+\gamma}{2} \Rightarrow 2 \beta=\alpha+\gamma\) \(\therefore \alpha+2+\gamma=6 \Rightarrow \alpha+\gamma=4\) ...(i) Also,…
