ab
and x2 + bx + a (where a, b, p, q are constants and ), then the value of p is
48. (0)
Since cubic is divisible by both x2 + ax + b and x2 + bx + a. Therefore, x2 + ax + b and x2 + bx + a must

have a common root
x2 + ax + b = 0
x2 + bx + a = 0
subtract
x (a b) = (a b)
x=1
Therefore, common roots
for x2 + ax + b = 0 are 1 and 1 . = b = b

for x2 + bx + a = 0 are 1 and 1 . = a =a
roots of cubic be 1, a, b
