If \(f(x)\) is a polynomial of degree \(n\) with rational coefficients and \(1+2 i, 2-\sqrt{3}\) and 5 are three roots of \(f(x)=0\), then the least value of \(n\) is

  1. A \(5\)
  2. B \(4\)
  3. C \(3\)
  4. D \(6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, \((1+2 i),(2-\sqrt{3})\) and 5 are the some roots of polynomial \(f(x)\) of degree \(n\). As we know this conjugate are also the roots of the polynomial is, \[ (1-2 i),(2+\sqrt{3}) \] \(\therefore\) The least value of \(n\) is 5 .
