If the product of the roots of the equation \(x^2+4 k x+12 e^{3 \log k}-1=0,(k>0)\) is 323 , then the sum of its roots is
  1. \(9 k\)
  2. 12
  3. -12
  4. \(-16 k\)

Solution

Given quadratic equation is \(x^2+4 k x+12 e^{3 \log k}-1=0\) According to given information , Product of the roots \(=323\) \(\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad 12 e^{3 \log k}-1=323 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 12 k^3=324 \Rightarrow k^3=27 \Rightarrow k=3 \end{aligned}\) So, sum of roots \(=-4 k=-12\) Hence, option (c) is correct.
