Question

For the equation 3x2 + px + 3 = 0, p > 0, if one of the root is square ot the other, then p is equal to

Options

A.1/ 3
B.1
C.3
D.2/3

Solution

Let a,a2 be the roots of 3x2 + px + 3 = 0
Now,    S = a + a2 = - p / 3
        P = a3 = 1
⇒      a = 1, ω, ω2
Now,    a + a2 = p / 3
⇒      ω + ω2 = - p /3
⇒      - 1 = - p/3
⇒      P = 3
