Solution

Polynomial : $x^{2} + \frac{1}{6} x - 2$

Comparing with the standard equation, we get

a = 1, b = $\frac{1}{6}$ , c = -2

To find zero, equate it with 0

=> $x^{2} + \frac{1}{6} x - 2$ =0

Multiply by 6
=> $6 x^{2} + x - 12 = 0$
=> $6 x^{2} + 9 x - 8 x - 12 = 0$
=> $3 x (2 x + 3) - 4 (2 x + 3) = 0$
=> $(2 x + 3) (3 x - 4) = 0$
$2 x + 3 = 0$ Or $3 x - 4 = 0$
=> x = $\frac{- 3}{2} o r \frac{4}{3}$
so option b is correct
