Assertion :If $a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} < 0$ , then if roots of the equation $a x^{2} + b x + c = 0$ are imaginary, then they are not complex conjugates. Reason: Equation $a x^{2} + b x + c = 0$ has complex conjugate roots when $a, b, c$ are real.

Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
If $a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} < 0,$ then all $a, b, c$ are not real or at least one of $a, b, c$ is imaginary number.
Hence roots of equation $a x^{2} + b x +$ $c = 0$ has no complex conjugate roots, even though the roots are complex.

Hence statement 1 is true. Statement 2 is obviously true (see the theory).
Also, statement 2 is correct explanation of statement 1.
