Solution

The correct option is D x238x+165=0
In quadratic equations, the product of the roots = constant term. Therefore, the other root is given by,
5×β=165
β=33

The roots of the equation are 5, 33

Sum of roots = 5 + 33 = 38

- (Sum of roots) = coefficient of x in a quadratic equation = - 38

the required quadratic equation is x238x+165=0
