Direction: Each question is followed by two statements, I and II. Mark the answer as
1. if the question cannot be answered even with the help of both the statements taken together. 2. if the question can be answered by any one of the two statements. 3. if each statement alone is sufficient to answer the question, but not the other one (e.g. statement I alone is required to answer the question, but not statement II and vice versa). 4. if both statements I and II together are needed to answer the question.
If α and β are the roots of the equation (ax2 + bx + c = 0), then what is the value of (α2 + β2)?
I. α + ß = -ba
II. 2αß = ca
Explanation:
Using statement II
2αß = ca = αß
⇒ α = 0 or β = 0 or α and β = 0 Hence, cannot be answered.
