    If \[\alpha +i\beta \] is one of the roots of the equation \[{{x}^{3}}+qx+r=0,\] then \[2\alpha \] is one of the roots of equation

    A)  \[{{x}^{3}}+qx+r=0\]    

    B)  \[{{x}^{3}}-px-r=0\]

    C)  \[{{x}^{3}}+qx-r=0\]     

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Since, \[\alpha +i\beta \]  is a root of the equation \[{{x}^{3}}+qx+r=0,\]\[\alpha -i\beta \] is also its roots. Let the third root be \[\gamma ,\] so that \[\alpha +i\beta +(\alpha -i\beta )+\gamma =0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{x}^{3}}+qx-r=0\] Also, \[\gamma \] is the root of the given equation, therefore \[2\alpha \] is one of the roots of the equation\[{{(-x)}^{3}}+q(-x)+r=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{x}^{3}}+qx-r=0\]
