Question
If every pair of the equations x2+px+qr=0 , x2+qx+rp=0 , x2+rx+pq=0 have a common root, then the sum of three common roots is
Options:
A .  −(p+q+r)2
B .  −p+q+r2
C .  -(p+q+r)
D .  -p+q+r
Answer: Option A
:
A
Let the roots beα,β;β,γ andγ,α respectively.
∴α +β = -p,β +γ= -q,γ +α= -r
Adding all, we get∑α = (p+q+r)2 etc.
