    If the roots of \[a{{x}^{2}}+bx+c=0\] are \[\sin \alpha \] and \[\cos \alpha \] for some \[\alpha ,\] then which one of the following is correct?

    A) \[{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}=2ac\]

    B) \[{{b}^{2}}-{{c}^{2}}=2ab\]

    C) \[{{b}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}}=2ac\]

    D) \[{{b}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}=2ab\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let \[\sin \,\,\alpha \] and \[\cos \,\,\alpha \] be the roots of \[{{\operatorname{ax}}^{2}}+bx+c=0\] Now, \[\sin  \alpha  + cos \alpha  = \frac{-b}{a}\] and \[\sin  \alpha  + cos \alpha  = \frac{c}{a}\] Consider \[\sin \,\alpha  + cos \alpha  = \frac{-b}{a}\] Squaring both side, \[{{\left( \sin  \alpha  + cos \alpha  \right)}^{2}} =\frac{{{b}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\, {{\sin }^{2}}\alpha  + co{{s}^{2}} \alpha  + 2 sin \alpha  cos \alpha  = \frac{{{b}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,1+\frac{2c}{a}=\frac{{{b}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\frac{a+2c}{a}=\frac{{{b}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}\Rightarrow a+2c=\frac{{{b}^{2}}}{a}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,{{a}^{2}}+2\,\,ac={{b}^{2}}\Rightarrow {{b}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}}=2\,ac\]
