Solution

The correct option is C

a = 6, b = - 4


We know, sum of the roots

α+β+γ+δ=(B)A=4

Since all the roots are positive.

Sum of the roots taking 2 at a time should also be positive.

Sum of the roots taking 2 at a time = a

So, a should be positive

a> 0

Sum of the roots taking 3 at a time = - b (it should also be positive)

So, b must be less than zero

b < 0

From the above given options only Option C satisfy the condition.
