Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(-2: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \text { Given, } \frac{3 x}{(x-a)(x-b)}=\frac{2}{(x-a)}+\frac{1}{(x-b)} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 3 x=2(x-b)+1(x-a)\end{aligned}\) On comparing the coefficient of constant term, we get…
