Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\alpha\) be the common root of the equation \(3 x^2-7 x+2=0\) and \(k x^2+7 x-3=0\), so \(3 \alpha^2-7 \alpha+2=0\) \(\ldots\) (i) and \(\quad k \alpha^2+7 \alpha-3=0\) \(\ldots\) (ii) By cross multiplication, we get…
