The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Given, $ \alpha, \beta $ are the roots of (x - a) (x - b) - c = 0
$\Rightarrow (x - a) (x - b) - c = (x - \alpha) \, (x - \beta)$
$\Rightarrow (x - a) \, (x - b) = (x - \alpha) \, (x - \beta) + c $
$\Rightarrow $ a, b are the roots of equation $ (x - \alpha) \, (x - \beta) + c $

Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations

Complex Number: Any number that is formed as a+ib is called a complex number. For example: 9+3i,7+8i are complex numbers. Here i = -1. With this we can say that i² = 1. So, for every equation which does not have a real solution we can use i = -1.

Quadratic equation: A polynomial that has two roots or is of the degree 2 is called a quadratic equation. The general form of a quadratic equation is y=ax²+bx+c. Here a≠0, b and c are the real numbers.
