Solution
The correct option is Cx2+x−2=0 Given : Δ=∣∣
∣
∣∣4−α34−βα1βα31β3∣∣
∣
∣∣
Applying R1→R1+R2 Δ=∣∣
∣∣444α1βα31β3∣∣
∣∣
Taking (4) common from R1, we get Δ=4∣∣
∣∣111α1βα31β3∣∣
∣∣ ⇒4(α−1)(1−β)(β−α)(α+β+1)=0∵∣∣
∣∣111abca3b3c3∣∣
∣∣=(a−b)(b−c)(c−a)(a+b+c)⇒(α−1)(1−β)(β−α)(α+β+1)=0⇒α+β+1=0(∵α,β≠1)∴α+β=−1
