Hi, Interesting q ... Thanks.

I thought the best ways was to assume values for b in the 2nd equation

Let b = -5; The equation becomes 2x^2-5x+2=0

Roots are 1/2 or 2.

Roots of 1st equation are 3/2 or 3

try to form the 1st equation

(x-3/2) (x-3) = 0

Make sure that the coefficients of x match in both the equation. (as they are equal to b).

Only one of the answer choices meet the criteria ... May I reserve the answer at this stage ...

Look forward to know better methods
