Solution

The correct option is B K = -3, roots = -3, -6, 5

Since k and 2k are zeros of f(x)
f(k) = 0
k3+4k2+9k290=0k3+13k290=0....(i)
And f(2k) = 0
8k3+16k2+18k290=08k3+34k290=04k3+17k245=0....(ii)
Multiplying equation (i) by 4 and then subtracting from (ii), we get

35k2+315=0k2=9k=±3
k = 3 does not satisfy the given polynomial.
k=3
The two roots are – 3 and – 6
Sum of roots = - 4
36+third root =-4
third root =5
