  1. The positive value of m for which the roots of the equation 12x2 + mx + 5 = 0 are in the ratio 3 : 2 is :
    1. 5√10
    2. 5
      10
      2
    3. 5
      12
    4. 12
      5
Correct Option: A

According to question , we can say that
Let, the roots be 3α and 2α .

Then, 3α + 2α =
m
⇒ α =
m
12
60

5
=
m
2
5
=
m2
7260723600

⇔ m2 =
3600 x 5
= 250
72

∴ m = √250 = 5√10.
Thus , The positive value of m is 5√10.
