Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(4-\sqrt{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation \(\sqrt{2} x^2-b x+(8-2 \sqrt{5})=0\) Let the roots of the given equation are \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\). Sum of roots, \(\alpha+\beta=\frac{-b}{a}=-\left(\frac{-b}{\sqrt{2}}\right)=\frac{b}{\sqrt{2}}\) and product of roots,…
