MCQ

Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be the roots of the equation $\mathrm{px}^2+\mathrm{qx}-$ $r=0$, where $p \neq 0$. If $p, q$ and $r$ be the consecutive terms of a non-constant G.P and $\frac{1}{\alpha}+\frac{1}{\beta}=\frac{3}{4}$, then the value of $(\alpha-\beta)^2$ is :

✓
$\frac{80}{9}$
B
$9$
C
$\frac{20}{3}$
D
$8$

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

$\frac{80}{9}$

a
$ p x^2+q x-r=0 < \beta $

$ p=A, q=A R, r=A R^2$

$ A x^2+A R x-A R^2=0$

$ x^2+R x-R^2=0 < \beta $

$ \because \frac{1}{\alpha}+\frac{1}{\beta}=\frac{3}{4} $

$ \therefore \frac{\alpha+\beta}{\alpha \beta}=\frac{3}{4} \Rightarrow \frac{-R}{-R^2}=\frac{3}{4} \Rightarrow R=\frac{4}{3} $

$ (\alpha-\beta)^2=(\alpha+\beta)^2-4 \alpha \beta=R^2-4\left(-R^2\right)=5\left(\frac{16}{9}\right) $

$ =80 / 9$
