If $\sin \alpha=p$, then the quadratic equation whose roots are $\tan \frac{\alpha}{2}, \cot \frac{\alpha}{2}$ is
  1. $p x^2-2 x+p=0$
  2. $p x^2+2 x+p=0$
  3. $p x^2+x+p=0$
  4. $p x^2-x+p=0$

Solution



and product of roots $=\tan \frac{\alpha}{2} \times \cot \frac{\alpha}{2}=1$ So, equation required quadratic equation $ x^2-\frac{2}{p} x+1=0 \Rightarrow p x^2-2 x+p=0 $ Hence, option (a) is correct
