Solution

The correct option is C 12,52
We know that, for a quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0,Sum of roots = α+βand product of roots = αβwhere α and β are the roots of theequation.

Also, α+β=ba and αβ=ca

On comparing 2x2+x5=0 with standard form of quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0, we get a=2,b=1,c=5

α+β=ba=12

αβ=ca=52
