    Directions (Q. 90): Read the following questions and choose:
    Statement 1: If \[a,\,b,\,c\in R\] and the quadratic equation \[a{{x}^{2}}+bx+c=0\] and \[{{x}^{2}}+2x+3=0\] have a common root, \[a:b:c=1:2:3\].
    Statement 2: If \[a,\,b,\,c\in R\] and if one root is common then both the roots are common.

    A)  Both statements are true, and Statement-2 explains Statement-1.

    B)  Both statements are true, but Statement-2 does not explain Statement-1.

    C)  Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False.

    D)  Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is true.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\therefore \,\,{{x}^{2}}+2x+3=0\] has discriminant \[4-4\times 1\times 3<0\] \[\Rightarrow \] complex roots. \[\therefore \] both roots common. \[\therefore \,\,\frac{a}{1}=\frac{b}{2}=\frac{c}{3}\]  \[\Rightarrow \,\,a:b:c=1:2:3\].
