    If p and q are zeroes of\[3{{x}^{2}}+2x-9\], then value of p - q is

    A) -3

    B) -2

    C) \[\pm \,\frac{4\sqrt{7}}{3}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given, p and q are the zeroes of quadratic equations
    \[\therefore \,\,p+q=\frac{-2}{3}\] and \[pq=-3\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,p-q=\pm \sqrt{{{\left( p+q \right)}^{2}}-4pq}\]
    \[=\pm \sqrt{{{\left( \frac{-2}{3} \right)}^{2}}-4\times \left( -3 \right)}=\pm \sqrt{\frac{4}{9}+12}=\pm \frac{4\sqrt{7}}{3}\]
