C
D
none of these
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
It is given that 
has complex roots. Then,
Now, two cases arise.
CASE I When 
and 
are both positive
In this case, we have
which is not possible.
CASE II When 
and 
are both negative
In this case, we have
Clearly, when 
and 
are both negative, 
must be positive. Otherwise, the equation becomes one where coefficients are all positive Therefore, 
.
