    If \[\sin \alpha \] and \[\cos \alpha \] are the roots of the equation\[p{{x}^{2}}+qx+r=0\], then

    A) \[{{p}^{2}}+{{q}^{2}}-2pr=0\]    

    B) \[{{p}^{2}}-{{q}^{2}}+2pr=0\]

    C) \[{{p}^{2}}-{{q}^{2}}-2pr=0\]     

    D) \[{{p}^{2}}+{{q}^{2}}+2qr=0\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Since, \[\sin \alpha \] and \[\cos \alpha \] are the roots of the equation\[p{{x}^{2}}+qx+r=0\] \[\therefore \]  \[\sin \alpha +\cos \alpha =-\frac{q}{p}\]                              ... (i) and        \[\sin \alpha \cdot \cos \alpha =\frac{r}{p}\]                       ... (ii) On squaring Eq. (i), we get                 \[{{(\sin \alpha +\cos \alpha )}^{2}}={{\left( -\frac{p}{q} \right)}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{\sin }^{2}}\alpha +{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha +2\sin \alpha \cos \alpha =\frac{{{q}^{2}}}{{{p}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[1+2\cdot \frac{r}{p}=\frac{{{q}^{2}}}{{{p}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{(p+2r)}{p}=\frac{{{q}^{2}}}{{{p}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[p(p+2r)={{q}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{p}^{2}}-{{q}^{2}}+2rp=0\]
