    If a, b be the roots of \[{{x}^{2}}+px+q=0\] and \[\alpha +h,\,\beta +h\] are the roots of \[{{x}^{2}}+rx+s=0\], then [AMU 2001]

    A) \[\frac{p}{r}=\frac{q}{s}\]

    B) \[2h=\left[ \frac{p}{q}+\frac{r}{s} \right]\]

    C) \[{{p}^{2}}-4q={{r}^{2}}-4s\]

    D) \[p{{r}^{2}}=q{{s}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\alpha +\beta =-p,\,\alpha \beta =q\] \[\alpha +\beta +2h=-r,\] \[(\alpha +h)(\beta +h)=s\] \[-p+2h=-r\Rightarrow h=\frac{p-r}{2}\] ?..(i) Now, \[\alpha \beta +h\,(\alpha +\beta )+{{h}^{2}}=s\] \[\Rightarrow q+h(-p)+{{h}^{2}}=s\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,q+\left( \frac{p-r}{2} \right)\,(-p)+{{\left( \frac{p-r}{2} \right)}^{2}}=s\] \[\Rightarrow q-\frac{({{p}^{2}}-pr)}{2}+\frac{{{p}^{2}}+{{r}^{2}}-2pr}{4}=s\] \[\Rightarrow 4q-2{{p}^{2}}+2pr+{{p}^{2}}+{{r}^{2}}-2pr=4s\] \[\Rightarrow 4q-{{p}^{2}}+{{r}^{2}}-4s=0\] \[\Rightarrow {{r}^{2}}-4s={{p}^{2}}-4q\].
