MCQ
If the roots of the given equation $2{x^2} + 3(\lambda - 2)x + \lambda + 4 = 0$ be equal in magnitude but opposite in sign, then $\lambda $=
  • A
    $1$
  • $2$
  • C
    $3$
  • D
    $2/3$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$2$
b
(b) Let roots are $\alpha $and $ - \alpha $, then sum of the roots

$\alpha + ( - \alpha ) = \frac{{3(\lambda - 2)}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow 0 = \frac{3}{2}(\lambda - 2)$

==>$\lambda = 2$
