Detailed Solution

Given, one of the zeroes of the cubic polynomial

a x^{3} + b x^{2} + cx + d

is -1.
We need to find the product of the other two zeroes.
Let

α, β

be the other zeroes of the given polynomial

x^{3} + a x^{2} + bx + c

, then,
Sum of the zeroes

= \frac{- cofficient of x^{2}}{cofficient of x^{3}}

\Rightarrow - 1 + α + β = \frac{- a}{1} = - a

\Rightarrow α + β = - α + 1

… (1)
Substituting,
(-1)

α + αβ + (- 1) β = \frac{coefficient of x}{coefficient of x^{3}}

\Rightarrow - α + αβ - β = \frac{b}{1}

\Rightarrow αβ = b + α + β

From (1),

α + β = - a + 1

b - a + 1

Therefore, the product of other two zeroes is

b - a + 1 .

Hence, the correct option is 1.
