Q1

Let the arithmetic mean of \(\frac{1}{a}\) and \(\frac{1}{b}\) be \(\frac{5}{16}, a>2\). If \(\alpha\) is such that \(a, 4, \alpha, b\) are in A.P., then the equation \(\alpha x^2-a x+2(\alpha-2 b)=0\) has:

a

one root in \((1,4)\) and another in \((-2,0)\)

b

both roots in the interval \((-2,0)\)

c

complex roots of magnitude less than 2

d

one root in \((0,2)\) and another in \((-4,-2)\)
