If one root of the equation x2+px+12 =0 is 4, while the equation x2 +px +q = 0 has equal roots, then the value of 'q' is
49/3
4
3

A.
49/3
Since 4 is one of the roots of equation x2 + px + 12 = 0. So it must satisfied the equation.
∴ 16 + 4p + 12 = 0
⇒ 4p = -28
⇒ p = -7
The other equation is x2 - 7x + q = 0 whose roots are equal. Let roots are α and α of above equation
⇒ 2α = 7 ⇒ α = 7/ 2 and product of roots α.α = q ⇒ α2 = q
(7/2)2 = q
q =49/4
