If we take two quadtratic equations:

ax2 + bx + c = 0

and

mx2+ nx + p = 0

Case I : Only One Common root

In this case Let that common root be ¥

Then

2 + b¥ + c = 0

and

2+ n¥ + p = 0

Now add the two equations to get another quadratic equation:

(a+m)¥2 + (b+n)¥ + c+p = 0

Replace ¥ by x

(a+m)x2 + (b+n)x + c+p = 0.     Now this quadratic has only ine root

That means

D = 0

Or,

(b+n)2 -4(a+m)(c+p) = 0

Case II : Atleast One common root:

Here D of [(a+m)x2 + (b+n)x + c+p = 0. ]

D>=0

or

(b+n)2 -4(a+m)(c+p) >=0
