    The roots of the equation \[(q-r){{x}^{2}}+(r-p)x+(p-q)=0\]are:

    A)  \[\frac{r-p}{q-r},1\]       

    B)         \[\frac{p-q}{q-r},1\]

    C)  \[\frac{p-r}{q-r},2\]       

    D)  \[\frac{q-r}{p-q},2\]

    E)  \[\frac{r-p}{p-q},1\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[(q-r){{x}^{2}}+(r-p)x+p-q=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{x}^{2}}\frac{(r-p)}{q-r}x+\frac{p-q}{q-r}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{x}^{2}}\left( \frac{r-p+q-q}{q-r} \right)x+\frac{p-q}{q-r}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{x}^{2}}-\left( \frac{q-r}{q-r}+\frac{p-q}{q-r} \right)x+\frac{p-q}{q-r}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{x}^{2}}-\left( 1+\frac{p-q}{q-r} \right)x+\frac{p-q}{q-r}=0\] \[\therefore \] Roots are \[1,\frac{p-q}{q-r}\]
