In the question it is given that one of the quadratic equation x^2-x+3a=0 is double of one of the roots of the equation x^2-x+a
But one of the root of equation x^2-x+a will be a will be a integer or complex number.
And one of the quadratic equation x^2-x+3a=0 contains x in it and is a quadratic equation which cannot be equal to above mentioned condition.
