If the equations and , , have a common root, then is:

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

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

For , discriminant .The roots are imaginary. Since coefficients are real, if one root is common, the other conjugate root must also be common.This means the two equations are identical (roots are the same).

Therefore, .
