Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 7

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Both the roots are positive \(\begin{aligned} & D \geq 0 \\ & 4(a-3)^2-4 \times 9(1-a) \geq 0 \\ & a^2-6 a+9-9+9 a \geq 0 \\ & a^2+3 a \geq 0 \\ & a(a+3) \geq 0 \end{aligned}\) \(\mathrm{a} \in(-\infty,-3] \cup[0, \infty)\) ...(i)…
