aren’t the first and second optins are same?
whatever it may be the correct ans is -1/2(a2+b2)
on solving the given equation into the form ax2+bx+c=0
we get x2+x(a+b+2c)+ab-(a+b)c=0
given the two roots of it are equal in magnitude but opp in sign
i.e, sum of roots =0
from given eq. sum of roots=-b/a=-(a+b+2c)
-(a+b+2c)=0............................a+b/2=c
substitute c=a+b/2 in product of roots = c/a =ab-(a+b)c
on solving it u will get the ans :-)
