    If the fraction \[\frac{{{x}^{3}}+(\alpha -10){{x}^{2}}-x-\alpha -6}{{{x}^{3}}+(\alpha -6){{x}^{2}}-x+\alpha -10}\] reduces to a quotient of two linear functions then \[\alpha \]-

    A) 6

    B) 8    

    C) 4

    D) 2

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let \[{{N}^{r}}=f(x)={{x}^{3}}+(a-10){{x}^{2}}-x-a-6=0\] has roots \[\alpha ,\beta ,\gamma \]
    & \[{{D}^{r}}=g(x)={{x}^{3}}+(a-6){{x}^{2}}-x+a-10=0\] has roots \[\alpha ,\beta ,\rho \]
    \[\therefore \,\,f(x)-g(x)=-\,4{{x}^{2}}+4=0\Rightarrow x=\pm \,\,1\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\alpha +\beta =0,\]\[\alpha \beta =-\,1\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\alpha +\beta +\gamma =-\,(a-10)=10-a\]
    \[\Rightarrow \gamma =10-a\] ... (i)
    \[\alpha \beta \gamma =6-a\]
    \[\Rightarrow \gamma =a-6\] .... (ii)
    From (i) & (ii)
    \[10-a=a-6\]
    \[a=8\]
