    If\[\alpha \] and \[\beta \]are the roots of \[{{x}^{\text{2}}}+5x+\text{ 4 }=\text{ }0,\] then equation whose roots are \[\frac{\alpha +2}{3}\] and \[\frac{\beta +2}{3}\], is

    A) \[9{{x}^{2}}+3x+2=0\]                   

    B) \[9{{x}^{2}}-\text{ }3x+2\text{ }=0\]

    C) \[9{{x}^{2}}+\text{ }3x-2\text{ }=\text{ }0\]        

    D) \[9{{x}^{2}}-\text{ }3x+\text{ }2\text{ }=0\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given, \[\alpha \]and \[\beta \]are the roots of the equation \[{{x}^{2}}+5x+4=0\]. \[\therefore \]  \[\alpha +\beta =-\text{5 and }\alpha \beta =4\] Now, \[\frac{\alpha +2}{3}+\frac{\beta +2}{3}=\frac{\alpha +\beta +4}{3}\]                 \[=\frac{-5+4}{3}=-\frac{1}{3}\] and \[\left( \frac{\alpha +2}{3} \right)\left( \frac{\beta +2}{3} \right)=\frac{\alpha \beta +2(\alpha +\beta )+4}{9}\]                 \[=\frac{4+2(-5)+4}{9}=-\frac{2}{9}\] \[\therefore \]Required equation is \[{{x}^{2}}-\](sum of roots) \[x+\]Product of roots = 0 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{x}^{2}}+\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{2}{9}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[9{{x}^{2}}+3x-2=0\]
