Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 128

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(\alpha, \beta\) are the roots of \(x^2-2 x+4=0\) Now, \(\begin{aligned} \alpha-\beta & =\sqrt{(\alpha+\beta)^2-4 \alpha \beta} \\ & =\sqrt{4-4 \times 4}=\sqrt{-12} \end{aligned}\) On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get…
