JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 4.2 Quadratic equations and inequations

If \(p\) and \(q\) are non-zero real numbers and \({\alpha ^3} + {\beta ^3} =  - p\), \(\alpha \beta  = q\), then a quadratic equation whose roots are \(\frac{{{\alpha ^2}}}{\beta },\frac{{{\beta ^2}}}{\alpha }\) is

  1. A \(px^2 -qx + p^2 = 0\)
  2. B \(qx^2 + px + q^2 = 0\)
  3. C \(px^2 + qx+ p^2 =0\)
  4. D \(qx^2 -px + q^2 = 0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(qx^2 + px + q^2 = 0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(\alpha^{3}+\beta^{3}=-p\) and \(\alpha \beta=q\) Let \(\frac{\alpha^{2}}{\beta}\) and \(\frac{\beta^{2}}{\alpha}\) be the root of required quadratic equation. So, \(\frac{\alpha^{2}}{\beta}+\frac{\beta^{2}}{\alpha}=\frac{\alpha^{3}+\beta^{3}}{\alpha \beta}=\frac{-p}{q}\)…
