    The   solution   set   of   the   equation\[pq{{x}^{2}}-{{(p+q)}^{2}}x+{{(p+q)}^{2}}=0\]is:

    A)  \[\left\{ \frac{p}{q},\frac{q}{p} \right\}\]            

    B)         \[\left\{ pq,\frac{p}{q} \right\}\]

    C)  \[\left\{ \frac{q}{p},pq \right\}\]             

    D)         \[\left\{ \frac{p+q}{p},\frac{p+q}{q} \right\}\]

    E)  \[\left\{ \frac{p-q}{p},\frac{p-q}{q} \right\}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The given equation is \[pq{{x}^{2}}-{{(p+q)}^{2}}x+{{(p+q)}^{2}}=0\] \[x=\frac{{{(p+q)}^{2}}\pm \sqrt{{{(p+q)}^{4}}-4pq{{(p+q)}^{2}}}}{2pq}\] \[x=\frac{{{(p+q)}^{2}}\pm ({{p}^{2}}-{{q}^{2}})}{2pq}\] Now, taking + sign                 \[x=\frac{p+q}{q}\] and taking - sign                 \[x=\frac{p+q}{p}\] \[\therefore \]Solution set is \[\left\{ \frac{p+q}{p},\frac{p+q}{q} \right\}\].
