(d)
We have,
(1)
(2)
(3)
Eliminating from (1) and (2), we have
Then from (3),
Now, is not possible since it does not lie between 2 and 18. Hence,
. Then from (3),
and finally from (2),
Thus, and
. Hence,
Also, equation is
, which has imaginary roots
If are roots of the equation
, then sum of product of roots taken two at a time is
