  1. A 72
  2. B 253
  3. C 9
  4. D \(\frac{9}{64}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 72

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If \(\alpha, \beta\) and \(\gamma\) are the roots of \(x^3-9 x^2+26 x-24=0\) such that \(\alpha=2 \beta\). Clearly, \(\alpha+\beta+\gamma=9, \alpha \beta+\beta \gamma+\gamma \alpha=-26\) and \(\alpha \beta \gamma=24\)…
