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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, the roots of the equation \(4 x^3-12 x^2\) \(+11 x+k=0\) are in A.P is \(\alpha-a, \alpha, \alpha+a\) \(\therefore\) Sum of roots, \(\quad 3 \alpha=\frac{12}{4}=3\) \[ \Rightarrow \quad \alpha=1 \] Since, \(\alpha\) is a root, therefore it satisfies the given equation…
