    Let \[{{z}_{1}}\] and \[{{z}_{2}}\] be two roots of the equation \[{{z}_{2}}+az+b=0,\,\,z\] being complex. Further, assume that the origin, \[{{z}_{1}}\] and \[{{z}_{2}}\] form an equilateral triangle. Then,     AIEEE  Solved  Paper-2003

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

    B) \[{{a}^{2}}=2b\]               

    C)                       \[{{a}^{2}}=3b\]           

    D)                       \[{{a}^{2}}=4b\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    If \[{{z}_{1}},{{z}_{2}}\] and \[{{z}_{3}}\] are the vertices of an equilateral triangle. Then, \[z_{1}^{2}+z_{2}^{2}+z_{3}^{2}={{z}_{1}}{{z}_{2}}+{{z}_{2}}{{z}_{3}}+{{z}_{3}}{{z}_{1}}\]. Since, origin, \[{{z}_{1}}\] and \[{{z}_{2}}\] are the vertices of an equilateral triangle, then                     \[z_{1}^{2}+z_{2}^{2}={{z}_{1}}{{z}_{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{({{z}_{1}}-{{z}_{2}})}^{2}}=3{{z}_{1}}{{z}_{2}}\]                            ... (i) Again, \[{{z}_{1}},{{z}_{2}}\] are the roots of the equation                     \[{{z}^{2}}+az+b=0\] Then,        \[{{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}}=-a\] and \[{{z}_{1}}{{z}_{2}}=b\] On putting these values in Eq. (i), we get \[{{(-a)}^{2}}=3b,\Rightarrow {{a}^{2}}=3b\]
