Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(x\) is the common root of the equations \(x^3+x^2-2 x-2=0 \text { and } x^3-x^2-2 x+2=0\) So, \(\alpha\) will satisfy both the equations \(\begin{array}{ll} \text {Now, } & \alpha^3+\alpha^2-2 \alpha-2=0 \\ \text {and } & \alpha^3-\alpha^2-2 \alpha+2=0 \end{array}\) On…
