Since the modulus of one of the root is 1,it satisfies the condition for reality i.e. b^2 - 4ac > 0..which gives ur answer,,

We will repeatedly invoke the result that if |z| =1 then 

 

We have here three complex numbers with modulus 1,  where  is the root of the equation.

 

So, we have  ........................1 which can be written as 

 

Taking conjugates on both sides and using the result mentioned above, we have 

 

 which translates to ........................2

 

Multiplying 1 by b, we get .....................3

 

Subtracting 2 and 3, we get
