    If \[0<a<b<c\] and the roots \[\alpha ,\beta \] of the equation \[a{{x}^{2}}+bx+c=0\] are imaginary then incorrect statement is

    A) \[|\alpha =|\beta |\]      

    B) \[|\alpha |\,>1\]

    C) \[|\beta |\,<1\]         

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Since the roots are imaginary \[\therefore \,\, D < 0\] and roots occur as conjugate pair, i.e. \[\beta  = \bar{\alpha }\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\left| \,\beta \, \right|=\left| {\bar{\alpha }} \right|=\left| \alpha  \right|\] Also, let \[\alpha =\frac{-b+i\sqrt{4ac-{{b}^{2}}}}{2a}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\left| \alpha  \right|=\sqrt{\frac{{{b}^{2}}}{4{{a}^{2}}}+\frac{4ac-{{b}^{2}}}{4{{a}^{2}}}}=\sqrt{\frac{c}{a}}\] \[\left| \alpha  \right|>1\,\,\left( \because \,\,c>a \right)\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\left| \,a\, \right|=\left| \,\beta \, \right|>1\]
