Detailed Solution

We know that the quadraic equation ax2+bx+c=0 has positive real roots if and only if  b2-4ac0 and ac>0 and ab<0

Given that x2+ax+b=0 has both positive real roots

hence, a2-4b0 and a,bare of different signs

Since a2-4b0a-2b or a2b

The value of b is positive, hence a must be negative

so that the required condition is a-2b,b is positive
