The correct answer is: imaginary

If the roots of equation x2-2cx+ab=0 are real and unequal, then the roots of x2-2a+bx+a2+b2+2c2=0 are

Given, the roots of equation x2-2cx+ab=0......................i

are real and unequal

From equation i a=1, b=-2c, c=ab

Then, the discriminant D>0

b2-4ac>0

-2c2-4×1×ab>0

4c2-4ab>0

c2>ab.................ii

 Equation x2-2a+bx+a2+b2+2c2=0.....................iii

a=1, b=-2a+b, c=a2+b2+2c2=0

The discriminant of the equation D=0

D=b2-4ac=0

-2a+b2-4×1×a2+b2+2c2=0

4a2+4b2+8ab-4a2-4b2-8c2=0

ab-c2=0

From equation ii c2>ab

Now, ab-c2<0

Since, the discriminant is negative

Hence, the given equation iii has imaginary roots
