Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) one positive and one negative

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are the roots of \(x^{2}+a x+b=0\) and the roots of \(x^{2}-cx+d=0\) are \(\alpha^{4}\) and \(\beta^{4}\) Now, \(\alpha+\beta=-a, \alpha \beta=b\) ...(i) and \(\alpha^{4}+\beta^{4}-c, \alpha^{4} \beta^{4}=d\) ...(ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii),…
