    The value of p for which one root of the equation \[{{x}^{2}}-30x+p=0\]is the square of the other, are [Roorkee Qualifying 1998]

    A) 125 only

    B) 125 and \[-216\]

    C) 125 and 215

    D) 216 only

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\alpha +{{\alpha }^{2}}=30\]and \[{{\alpha }^{3}}=p\] \[{{\alpha }^{2}}+\alpha -30=0\Rightarrow (\alpha +6)(\alpha -5)=0\]Þ \[\alpha =-6,\,\,5\] \\[p={{\alpha }^{3}}={{(-6)}^{3}}=-216\]and\[p={{(5)}^{3}}\]= 125 \[p=125\]and\[-216\].
