Detailed Solution

The given equation is x2+px+q=0 …… ( 1 )

Since α,β  are roots of  Eq.( 1 ),  we get

  α+β=p  and αβ=q.

Now α4+β4=(α2+β2)22α2β2

      =[(α+β)22αβ]22q2

      =[(p)22q]22q2

       =p4+4q24p2q2q2

       =p4+2q24p2q     …… ( 2 )

And  α4β4=(αβ)4=q4

As  α4,β4  are roots of x2rx+s=0,  

we get α4+β4=r  and  α4β4=s

from Eq.( 2 ): p4+2q24p2q=r       (  α4+β4=r)

And  now the discriminant of the equation x24qx+(2q2r)=0  is

(4q)24.1.(2q2r)                

=8q2+4r=8q2+4(p4+2q24p2q)

 =16q216p2q+4p4

=4(P22q)20

   the given equation has real roots.

Therefore, (a) is the correct alternative.
