The correct answer is: 13

Given,

Quadratic equation x2-5αx+1=0  and x2-αx-5=0 have a common real root,

So, taking k to be common root then equation becomes,

k2-5αk+1=0 ......1

k2-αk-5=0 .....2

Now subtraction above equations we get,

k=64α

Now putting the value of k in equation 1 we get,

64α2-5α64α+1=0 

64α2-264=0 

3616α2=264

α2=926

α=32×13

Now comparing with given value 32β we get, β=13
