Question
If the roots of a quadratic equation are 20 and -7, then find the equation?
Options:
A .  x2 + 13x - 140 = 0
B .  x2 - 13x + 140 = 0
C .  x2 - 13x - 140 = 0
D .  x2 + 13x + 140 = 0
E .  None of these
Answer: Option C


Any quadratic equation is of the form
x2 - (sum of the roots)x + (product of the roots) = 0 ---- (1)
where x is a real variable. As sum of the roots is 13 and product of the roots is -140, the quadratic equation with roots as 20 and -7 is: x2 - 13x - 140 = 0.
