  2. B All real roots
  3. C Two real and two purely imaginary roots
  4. D Neither real nor purely imaginary roots
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Neither real nor purely imaginary roots

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Px=ax2+b with a, b of same sign.
P Px=aax2+b2+b
If x ϵ R or ix ϵ R
   x2  ϵ R
   Pxϵ R
   PPx0
Hence real or purely imaginary number can not satisfy P Px=0
