Question

If $α$ and $β$ are the roots of a quadratic equation satisfying the conditons $α β = 4$ and $\frac{α}{α - 1} + \frac{β}{β - 1} = \frac{a^{2} - 7}{a^{2} - 4}, α, β, a \in R$ . For what values of $^{'} a^{'}$ will the quadratic equation have equal roots?

Solution

The correct option is C $- \sqrt{3}$
$\frac{α (β - 1) + β (α - 1)}{(α - 1) (β - 1)} = \frac{a^{2} - 7}{a^{2} - 4}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{2 α β - (α + β)}{α β - (α + β) + 1} = \frac{a^{2} - 7}{a^{2} - 4}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{8 - (α + β)}{5 - (α + β)} = \frac{a^{2} - 7}{a^{2} - 4}$
$[∵ α β = 4]$

$1 + \frac{3}{5 - (α + β)} = 1 - \frac{3}{a^{2} - 4} \Rightarrow (α + β) = a^{2} + 1 \dots (1)$
For roots to be equal
$α β = 4 \Rightarrow α^{2} = 4 \Rightarrow α = \pm 2$
Using equation $(1)$ ,
$2 α = a^{2} + 1 \Rightarrow a = \pm \sqrt{2 α - 1} \Rightarrow a = \pm \sqrt{3}$
