Q14 / 82 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Quadratic Equation

If α≠β but, α2=4α-2 and β2=4β-2, then the quadratic equation with roots αβ and βα is

  • A
    x2-4x+2=0
  • Correct answer
    B
    x2-6x+1=0
  • C
    x2+6x-1=0
  • D
    x2+4x-2=0

Solution

Since, α2=4α-2,β2=4β-2
⇒ α,β are the roots of x2=4x-2
⇒ α+β=4,αβ=2
The quadratic equation with roots αβ,βα is,
x2-αβ+βαx+αβ×βα=0
⇒ x2-(α+β)2-2αβαβx+1=0
⇒ x2-(16-4)2x+1=0
⇒ x2-6x+1=0

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
