Solution

The correct option is A ϕ
Condition : when root are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign,

(i) D>0 (ii) Sum of roots =0

(i) D>0

(m3)24m>0

m26m+94m>0

m210m+9>0

(m1)(m9)>0

m(,1)(9,)

(ii) Sum of roots =0

Sum of roots =(m3)=0m=3

Now, taking intersection of both the condition, we get

mϕ
