    If 3 is a root of \[{{x}^{2}}+kx-24=0,\] it is also a root of [EAMCET 2002]

    A) \[{{x}^{2}}+5x+k=0\]

    B) \[{{x}^{2}}-5x+k=0\]

    C) \[{{x}^{2}}-kx+6=0\]

    D)  \[{{x}^{2}}+kx+24=0\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Equation \[{{x}^{2}}+kx-24=0\] has one root is 3. \[\Rightarrow \,\,{{3}^{2}}-3k-24=0\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,k=5\] Put \[x=3\] and \[k=5\] in options, only (c) gives the correct answer.
