Complex Numbers And Quadratic Equations question 787

Question: The value of m for which the equation $ \frac{a}{x+a+m}+\frac{b}{x+b+m}=1 $ has roots equal in magnitude but opposite in sign is

Options:

A) $ \frac{a+b}{a-b} $

0

C) $ \frac{a-b}{a+b} $

D) $ \frac{2(a-b)}{a+b} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Obviously, roots will be equal in magnitude but opposite in sign if the coefficient of $ x $ is 0. But the equation is $ x^{2}+2mx+m^{2}-ab=0 $ Hence the result.
