Suppose that two persons

A

and

B

solve the equation

{x^2} + ax + b = 0

. While solving

A

commits a mistake in the coefficient of

x

was taken as 15 in place of

- 9

and finds the roots as

- 7

and

- 2

. Then the equation is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

{x^2} - 9x + 14 = 0

Option B (

{x^2} - 9x + 14 = 0

) is correct because it uses the correct coefficient of the constant term (product of roots) obtained from the incorrect equation solved by person A.
