If \(p, q\) are the roots of the equation \(x^{2}+p x+q=0,\) then

  1. A \(p=1, q=-2\)
  2. B \(p=0, q=1\)
  3. C \(p=-2, q=0\)
  4. D \(p=-2, q=1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(p=1, q=-2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(\rho, q\) are roots of equation \(x^{2}+p x+q=0\) \(\therefore \quad p+q=-p \Rightarrow 2 p+q=0\) \(\begin{array}{lr}\text { and } & p q=q \\ \Rightarrow & \rho=1\end{array}\) Put \(p=1\) in Eq, we get \(2 \times 1+q=0\)…
