    The condition that one root of the equation \[a{{x}^{2}}+bx+c=0\]be square of the other, is:

    A)  \[{{a}^{2}}c+a{{c}^{2}}+{{b}^{3}}-3abc=0\]

    B)  \[{{a}^{2}}{{c}^{2}}+a{{c}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}-3abc=0\]

    C)  \[a{{c}^{2}}+ac+{{b}^{3}}-3abc=0\]

    D)  \[{{a}^{2}}c+a{{c}^{2}}-{{b}^{3}}-3abc=0\]

    E)  \[ac+{{b}^{3}}-3abc=0\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let one root of equation\[a{{x}^{2}}+bx+c=0\]is\[\alpha ,\]then another root will be\[{{\alpha }^{2}}\]. \[\therefore \]  \[\alpha +{{\alpha }^{2}}=-\frac{b}{a}\]                 ???(i) and        \[\alpha .{{\alpha }^{2}}=\frac{c}{a}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{\alpha }^{3}}=\frac{c}{a}\] From Eq.(i)                 \[{{(\alpha +{{\alpha }^{2}})}^{3}}=-\frac{{{b}^{3}}}{{{a}^{3}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{\alpha }^{3}}+{{\alpha }^{6}}+3{{\alpha }^{3}}(\alpha +{{\alpha }^{2}})=-\frac{{{b}^{3}}}{{{a}^{3}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{c}{a}+\frac{{{c}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}+3\frac{c}{a}\left( -\frac{b}{a} \right)=-\frac{{{b}^{3}}}{{{a}^{3}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{a}^{2}}c+a{{c}^{2}}-3abc+{{b}^{3}}=0\]
