    If X be the ratio of the roots of the quadratic equation in \[x,3{{m}^{2}}{{x}^{2}}+m(m-4)x+2=0,\]then the least value of m for which \[\lambda +\frac{1}{\lambda }=1,\]is                           [JEE Main Online Paper Held On 12-Jan-2019 Morning]    

    A) \[-2+\sqrt{2}\]                          

    B) \[4-3\sqrt{2}\]

    C) \[4-2\sqrt{3}\]               

    D)   \[2-\sqrt{3}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Here, \[3{{m}^{2}}{{x}^{2}}+m(m-4)x+2=0\] Let \[\alpha ,\beta \] be the roots of the given equation \[\therefore \]\[\lambda =\frac{\alpha }{\beta },\alpha +\beta =\frac{m(4-m)}{3{{m}^{2}}}=\frac{4-m}{3m},\alpha \beta =\frac{2}{3{{m}^{2}}}\] Given,\[\lambda +\frac{1}{\lambda }=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{\alpha }{\beta }+\frac{\beta }{\alpha }=1\Rightarrow \frac{{{\alpha }^{2}}+{{\beta }^{2}}}{\alpha \beta }=1\Rightarrow {{\alpha }^{2}}+{{\beta }^{2}}=\alpha \beta \] Now, \[{{(\alpha +\beta )}^{2}}={{\alpha }^{2}}+{{\beta }^{2}}+2\alpha \beta =3\alpha \beta \] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{{{(4-m)}^{2}}}{9{{m}^{2}}}=\frac{2}{{{m}^{2}}}\Rightarrow {{(4-m)}^{2}}=18\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[4-m=\pm 3\sqrt{2}\Rightarrow m=4\pm 3\sqrt{2}\] \[\therefore \]Least value of\[m=4-3\sqrt{2}\]
