    If one real root of the quadratic equation \[81{{x}^{2}}+kx+256=0\] is cube of the other root, then a value of k is [JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 11-Jan-2019 Morning]

    A) 144                              

    B)               100  

    C)               \[-81~~\]                                 

    D)               \[-300\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given equation is \[81{{x}^{2}}+kx+256=0\]                ...(i) Let \[\alpha \]and \[{{\alpha }^{3}}\]are the roots of the equation (i) \[\therefore \]\[\alpha .{{\alpha }^{3}}=\frac{256}{81}\Rightarrow \alpha =\pm \frac{4}{3}\] Now,\[\alpha +{{\alpha }^{3}}=-\frac{k}{81}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\pm \frac{4}{3}\pm \frac{64}{27}=-\frac{k}{81}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[k=\pm \frac{100}{27}\times 81=\pm 300\]
