Correct option is C
One root is 1. Let the roots be: 1, β, γ
We are to find the product of the other two zeroes: β × γ
Formula used:
Sum of roots = –a
Sum of product of roots two at a time = b
Solution:
Sum of roots:
1 + β + γ = –a
=> β + γ = –a – 1 ...(1)
Sum of product of roots two at a time:
1×β + βγ + γ×1 = β + γ + βγ = b ...(2)
Substitute (1) into (2):
(–a – 1) + βγ = b
=> βγ = b + a + 1
Correct answer is (c)
