Correct option is A
Let roots be α and 1/α
For quadratic ax² + bx + c = 0,
Sum of roots = −b/a and Product of roots = c/a
α × (1/α) = 1
Therefore, Product of roots = 1
So, c/a = 1
=> a = c
If one root of the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 is the reciprocal of the other, then which of the following is correct?
