    Question

    A student solved the given quadratic equation in the following way :


    Which of the following represents the error committed by the student ?

    A.

    Adding 9 on both the sides

    B.

    Using the wrong algebraic identity

    C.

    Not including the negative root in the solution

    D.

    There is no mistake as both the roots are equal

    Correct option is D

    The student's solution is correct. The equation x2 + 6x = 27 has two solutions: x = 3 and x = -9. The student correctly found one of the solutions, x = 3.
    The student's solution could be improved by finding the other solution, x = -9. However, this is not strictly necessary, as the question only asks for one solution.
