We have to find a number of quadratic equation whose root on squaring their roots does not change

So, let α,βbe the quadratic equation’s roots

Since the equation on squaring the roots should not change. So, all the relations for both the roots of the quadratic equation should not change.

Hence, the following equation can be formed as

α+β=α2+β2and another isα2,β2

α2β2αβ=0

On solving the above equation taking common, we get,

αβ(αβ1)=0αβ=0,1

Therefore, either αβ=0

So, possible ordered pair for(α,β)=(0,0) and also (α,β)=(1,0) and (0,1)

While forαβ=1

The possible ordered pairs are(α,β)=(1,1)oreither(α,β)=(ω,ω2)asω3=1

Hence for all the other corresponding values clearly the above equation of relation of roots will not be satisfied and so there are a total four quadratic equations possible.

Hence, the correct option is (B)
