Question:

If $\alpha,\beta,\gamma$ are the roots of $x^3+ax^2+bx+c=0$ and $\alpha+\beta=0$, then
$ab=c$
$a^2b^2=c^2$
$a^2b-ab^2=c^2$
$a^2b=c$... (match condition)

Step-by-Step Solution

Key Concept: $\alpha+\beta+\gamma=-a$; $\alpha+\beta=0\Rightarrow\gamma=-a$; use Vieta's
$ab=c$.
Correct Answer: 4
