Solution

The given equation is :3x2+ax-2 = 0Since x = 1 is a root of the above equation, so it must satisfy it.Now, 312 +a1 - 2 = 03+a-2 = 0a = -1Now, the other quadratic equation is : ax2+6x - b = 0-x2+6x - b = 0x2+6x+b = 0Now, A = 1; B = 6; C = bnow, D = B2-4AC = 62-4×1×b = 36-4bNow, for real and equal roots, D = 0 36 - 4b = 0-4b = -36b = 364 = 9
