The positive value of m for which the roots of the equation 12x2 + mx + 5 = 0 are in the ratio 3 : 2 is :
-
- 5√10
-
5 √10 2 -
5 12 -
12 5
Correct Option: A
According to question , we can say that
Let, the roots be 3α and 2α .
Then, 3α + 2α = | ⇒ α = | ||
∴ | = | ![]() | ![]() | 2 | ⇔ | = | ||||
72 | 60 | 72 | 3600 |
⇔ m2 = | = 250 | |
∴ m = √250 = 5√10.
Thus , The positive value of m is 5√10.
