Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{-2+\sqrt{22}}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that condition of exactly one common root of quadratic equations \(a_1 x^2+b_1 x+c_1=0\) and \(a_2 x^2+b_2 x+c_2=0\) is \(\left(c_1 a_2-c_2 a_1\right)^2=\left(b_1 c_2-b_2 c_1\right)\left(a_1 b_2-a_2 b_1\right)\) Here, \(a_1=2, b_1=a, c_1=-2, a_2=1, b_2=1\) and…
