Quadratic EquationHard

Question

Let α, β be the roots of the equation x2 - px + r = 0 and , 2β be the roots of the equation x2 - qx + r = 0. Then the value of r is

Options

A.(p - q)(2q - p)
B.(q - p)(2p - q)
C.(q - 2p)(2q - p)
D.(2p - q)(2q - p)

Solution

The equation x2 - px + r = 0 has roots (α, β) and the equation
x2 - qx + r = 0 has roots .
⇒ r = αβ and α + β = p and + 2β = q
⇒ β = and α =
⇒ αβ = r = (2q - p)(2p - q).
