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

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The difference between the roots of the first equation is:


The difference between the roots of the second equation is:



Since the difference between the roots is identical for both quadratic equations, their absolute differences squared must also be equal:



For any quadratic equation , the square of the difference of roots is given by .

Applying this property to both equations:

1. For :



2. For :



Equating the two expressions:
