  1. A \(5 \mathrm{S}_{6}+6 \mathrm{S}_{5}=2 \mathrm{S}_{4}\)
  2. B \(5 \mathrm{S}_{6}+6 \mathrm{S}_{5}+2 \mathrm{S}_{4}=0\)
  3. C \(6 \mathrm{S}_{6}+5 \mathrm{S}_{5}+2 \mathrm{S}_{4}=0\)
  4. D \(6 \mathrm{S}_{6}+5 \mathrm{S}_{5}=2 \mathrm{S}_{4}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(5 \mathrm{S}_{6}+6 \mathrm{S}_{5}=2 \mathrm{S}_{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are roots of \(5 x^{2}+6 x-2=0\) \(\Rightarrow 5 \alpha^{2}+6 \alpha-2=0\) \(\Rightarrow 5 \alpha^{n+2}+6 \alpha^{n+1}-2 \alpha^{n}=0 \quad \ldots(1)\) (By multiplying \(\left.\alpha^{n}\right)\) Similarly…
