Solution

The correct option is C
Soln:

Sum of the roots: $p + q = - 5$

Product of the roots: $p q = 2$

$\frac{p}{q} + \frac{q}{p} = \frac{(p^{2} + q^{2})}{p q} = \frac{[(p + q)^{2} - 2 p q]}{p q} = \frac{[(p + q)^{2}]}{p q} - 2 = \frac{25}{2} - 2 = \frac{21}{2}$

Hence option (c)

If p, q are roots of an equation x2+5x+2=0 , then find out the value of pq+qp.

The correct option is C Soln: Sum of the roots: p+q=−5 Product of the roots: pq=2 pq+qp=(p2+q2)pq=[(p+q)2−2pq]pq=[(p+q)2]pq−2=252−2=212 Hence option (c)

If p, q are roots of an equation $x^{2} + 5 x + 2 = 0$ , then find out the value of $\frac{p}{q} + \frac{q}{p} .$

The correct option is C
Soln:

Sum of the roots: $p + q = - 5$

Product of the roots: $p q = 2$

$\frac{p}{q} + \frac{q}{p} = \frac{(p^{2} + q^{2})}{p q} = \frac{[(p + q)^{2} - 2 p q]}{p q} = \frac{[(p + q)^{2}]}{p q} - 2 = \frac{25}{2} - 2 = \frac{21}{2}$

Hence option (c)
