    If zeroes a and P of a polynomial \[{{x}^{2}}-7x+k\]are such that\[\alpha -\beta =1\], then the value of k is

    A) 21

    B) 12

    C) 9

    D) 8

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\alpha \] and \[\beta \]are zeroes of \[{{x}^{2}}-7x+k\]
    We know that,
    Sum of zeroes \[\left( \alpha +\beta  \right)=\frac{-b}{a}=\frac{7}{1}\]          ...(i)
    \[\alpha \,.\,\beta =\frac{c}{a}=k\]
    \[\alpha -\beta =1\]                                 [Given] ...(ii)
    From Eqs. (i) and (ii) we get \[\alpha =4\] and \[\beta =3\]
    \[k=\alpha \,.\,\beta \]
    \[k=4\times 3=12\]
