Detailed Solution
The given equations are x2+px+q=0 ……. ( 1 ) And x2+lx+m=0 …… ( 2 )Let the roots of the two equations be α,β and γ,δ respectively,From Eq.( 1 ):Some of the roots α+β=−p, Product of the roots αβ=q From Eq.( 2 ):Some of the roots γ+δ=−l, Product of the roots γδ=m By the given condition, αβ= γδ ⇒ =α+βα−β= γ+δγ−δ Squaring on both sides⇒ (α+β)2(α−β)2 = (γ+δ)2(γ−δ)2 ⇒ (α+β)2(α+β)2−4αβ= (γ+δ)2(γ+δ)2−4γδ ⇒ p2p2−4q= l2l2−4m ⇒ p2l2−4p2m= l2p2−4l2q ⇒ p2m =l2q.
