    If an angle A of a \[\Delta ABC\] satisfies, then the roots of the quadratic\[9{{x}^{2}}+27x+20=0\] equation, are. [JEE Main 16-4-2018]

    A) \[\sin A,\sec A\]                       

    B) \[\sec A,\tan A\]

    C) \[\tan A,\cos A\]                      

    D) \[\operatorname{secA},cotA\]  

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Using quadratic formula, the roots of the equation are,                 \[9{{x}^{2}}+27x+20=0\]are,                 \[x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{{{b}^{2}}-4ac}}{2a}\]                 \[x=\frac{-27\pm \sqrt{{{27}^{2}}-4\times 9\times 20}}{2\times 9}\]                 \[x=-\frac{4}{3},-\frac{5}{3}\] Given, \[\cos A=-\frac{3}{5}.\] Hence,\[\sec A=\frac{1}{\cos A}=-\frac{5}{3}\] and \[\tan A=-\sqrt{{{\sec }^{2}}A-1}=-\frac{4}{3}\](since A is an obtuse angle, tan A will be negative). Thus, roots of the equation are \[\sec A\]and\[\tan A\]. Option B is correct.
