If the roots of the quadratic equation $x^2-35 x+c=0$ are in the ratio $2: 3$ and $c=6 \mathrm{~K}$, then $\mathrm{K}=$
  1. $49$
  2. $14$
  3. $21$
  4. $7$

Solution

Let roots of $x^3-35 x+c=0$ be $2 t$ and $3 t$ Now, $2 t+3 t=\frac{35}{1} \Rightarrow 5 t=35 \Rightarrow t=7$ Now, $2 t+3 t=\frac{35}{1} \Rightarrow 5 t=35 \Rightarrow t=7$ and $2 t \times 3 t=c \Rightarrow c=6 \times 49$ $\Rightarrow 6 K=6 \times 49 \Rightarrow K=49$
