The roots \(\alpha, \beta\) of the equation \(x^2-6(k-1) x+4(k-2)=0\) are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign. if \(\alpha>\beta\), then the product of the roots of the equation \(2 \mathrm{x}^2-\alpha \mathrm{x}+6 \beta(\alpha+1)=0\) is

  1. A 12
  2. B -12
  3. C 16
  4. D -18
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) -18

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\alpha + \beta = 0 \Rightarrow -6(k-1) = 0\) \(k-1 = 0 \Rightarrow k = 1\) \(x^2-6(1-1) x+4(1-2)=0 \Rightarrow x^2-4=0 \Rightarrow x = \pm 2\) \(\alpha > \beta \Rightarrow \alpha = 2, \beta = -2\)…
