x^2+3x+c = x^2+( a+b) x + ab


=> a+b =3
also, ab = c

Now 1 or 2 is independently sufficient to find out c

ajith's explanation is good. I got D as well.

Comparing the coefficients of x and and the constant term we get,

=> a+b =3
also, ab = c

now if a+b =3

using (1) b = 2

c= ab = 2*1 = 2

Using (2)

a= 1
c= ab = 2*1 = 2

So (2) or (1) can be used to find out the value of c

Ajith,


I understand one needs to solve questions correctly at a super fast speed. But while providing answer explanations it would be better if you could elaborate in depth because the person who posted this question or someone like me are not quite as fast in understanding concepts @ math as you are.

Would appreciate a step wise answer solution.

Hey Bhumika,

I really appreciate your feedback will try to explain the answer in great detail in future posts.

As for this problem, please tell me where exactly does it get complicated so that I can explain that part in detail.

Please can u break it down step by step.

That would be of great help

Thanking you in advance.

x^2 + 3x + c = x^2 + (a+b)x + ab

a+b=3 ; ab=??

1. a=1 so b=2

ab= c= 2

Sufficient

1. b=2 so a=1

ab=c =2

Sufficient

Answer D

Hope this solves ur doubt rahul.s

Yeah, it does.

Thank you
