Data Interpretation Question on Data Sufficiency

The question below has two statements, I and Impark your answer as
For on equation ax3 + bx2 + cx + d = 0, if its roots are α, β and y, then
Ι. α\alpha+ β\beta+ γ\gamma = c/a
ΙI. αβγ\alpha\beta\gamma = d

A

Statement I is True, but not the other one.

B

Statement II is True, but not the other one.

C

Both the statements are True.

D

Neither of the statements is True.

Answer

Statement II is True, but not the other one.

Explanation

Solution

ax3+bx2+cx+d=0a x^3 + b x^2 + c x + d = 0, if its roots are α,β,γ\alpha, \beta, \gamma
According to question,
α+β+γ=[b a]\alpha + \beta + \gamma = \begin{bmatrix} -b \\\ a \end{bmatrix} for Statement I.
(α×β)+(β×γ)+(γ×α)=ac(\alpha\times \beta) + (\beta \times \gamma) + (\gamma \times \alpha) = \frac{a}{c}
α β γ=da\alpha\ \beta\ \gamma= \frac{- d}{a} for Statement II.
Both the statements are not True.
The correct option is (B)
