Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) r=pq

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given: x3+px2+qx+r=0 Let α, β & γ are the roots of the given equation then α+β+γ=-p  ...i It is given that sum of any two roots is zero. So, let β+γ=0 Then, from i, we get α=-p  ...ii Since,…
