Solution

The correct option is C 3
Given, α and β are the roots of the equation x26x2=0.
an=anβnforn1a10=α10β10a8=α8β8a9=α9β9
Now, consider
a102a82a9=α10β102(α8β8)2(α9α9)=α8(α22)β8(β22)2(α9β9)=α8.6αβ86β2(α9β9)=6α96β92(α96β9)=62=3
⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢α and β are the roots ofx26x2=0 or x2=6x+2α2=6α+2α22=6αand β2=6β+2β22=6β⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥
Alternate Solution
Since, α and β are the roots of the equation
x26x2=0
or x2=6x+2
α2=6α+2α10=6α9+2α8....(i)
Similarly, β10=6β9+2β8....(ii)
On subtracting Eq. (ii) from Eq. (i), we get
α10β10=6(α9β9)+2(α8β8)(an=αnβn)a10=6a9+2a8a102a8=6a9a102a82a9=3
