    If\[(1-p)\]is one root of the equation \[{{x}^{2}}+px+(1-p)=0,\]then its roots are

    A)  \[0,\text{ }1\]              

    B)  \[-1,\text{ }1\]

    C)  \[0,-1\]            

    D) \[-1,\text{ }2\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     One  root  of the  quadratic  equation \[{{x}^{2}}+px+(1-p)=0\]is\[(1-p)\]. So,\[(1-p)\]will satisfies this equation. \[\therefore \] \[{{(1-p)}^{2}}+p(1-p)+(1-p)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[(1-p)[1-p+p+1]=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[2(1-p)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[p=1\] On putting the value of p in given equation, we get \[{{x}^{2}}+x=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x(x+1)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=0,-1\]
