Q37 / 75 · JEE Main 2020 (04 Sep Shift 2) · Mathematics

Let λ≠0 be in R. If α and β are the roots of the equation, x2-x+2λ=0 and α and γ are the roots of the equation, 3x2-10x+27λ=0, then βγλ is equal to:

  • A
    27
  • Correct answer
    B
    18
  • C
    9
  • D
    36

Solution

Satisfying α we have,

3α2-10α+27λ=0  …i and
3α2-3α+6λ=0  …ii
Subtract

-7α+21λ=0
3λ=α
by ii, 9λ2-3λ+2λ=0
⇒λ=0,19 but λ≠0
∴ Given equation are x2-x+29=0 and 3x2-10x+3=0
∴α=13,β=23,α=13,γ=3
∴βγλ=23·319=18

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