    If \[a{{(p+q)}^{2}}+2bpq+c=0\] and \[a{{(p+r)}^{2}}+2bpr+c=0\], then \[qr\]=

    A) \[{{p}^{2}}+\frac{c}{a}\]

    B) \[{{p}^{2}}+\frac{a}{c}\]

    C) \[{{p}^{2}}+\frac{a}{b}\]

    D) \[{{p}^{2}}+\frac{b}{a}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    From the given equations, we find that q and r are roots of the equation \[a{{(p+x)}^{2}}+2bpx+c=0\] or\[a{{x}^{2}}+2x(a+b)p+a{{p}^{2}}+c=0\]. Now product of the roots is \[qr=\frac{a{{p}^{2}}+c}{a}={{p}^{2}}+\frac{c}{a}\].
