Question

In the Maths test two students, committed the following mistakes while solving a quadratic equation :
(i) One of them made a mistake in the constant term and got the roots as 2 and 4.
(ii) Another one committed an error in the coefficient of x and got the roots as 3 and 5.
But, they realised that they are wrong and they managed to get it right jointly. Find the correct quadratic equation.

Solution

The correct option is C

x26x+15=0


Since the first person made a mistake in constant term.
Therefore, the sum of roots = 2 + 4 = 6
and the second person made a mistake in coefficient of x
Therefore, product of roots = 3 × 5 = 15
Required quadratic equation is x26x+15=0
