MCQ
If the sum of the roots of the equation $\text{x}^2-\text{x}=\lambda(2\text{x}-1)$ is zero, then $\lambda=$
- A$-2$
- B$2$
- ✓$-\frac{1}{2}$
- D$\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2-\text{x}=\lambda(2\text{x}-1)$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2-\text{x}=2\lambda\text{x}-\lambda$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2-\text{x}-2\lambda\text{x}+\lambda=0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2-(1+2\lambda)\text{x}+\lambda=0$
Sum of roots $=\frac{-\text{b}}{\text{a}}$
$=\frac{1+2\lambda}{1}$
$\frac{1+2\lambda}{1}=0$
$\Rightarrow2\lambda=-1$
$\lambda=-\frac{1}{2}$
