If \( m\) and \( n\)\(\left( m > n\right) \) are the roots of the equation
\( 7\)\( \left( x + 2a\right)^{2}\) + \( 3a^{2}\) = \( 5a\)\( \left( 7x + 23a\right)\)
Where \( a>0\) then what is \( 3m\) - \( n\) equal to ?


A) 12a

B) 14a

C) 15a

D) 18a

Correct Answer:
C) 15a

Description for Correct answer:
Here a > 0

Let us consider a = 1,

\( \Large 7(x + 2a)^{2} + 3a^{2} = 5a(7x + 23a)\)

\( \Large 7(x + 2)^{2} + 3 = 5(7x + 23) \)

\( \Large 7(x^{2} + 4x +4) + 3 = 35x + 115 \)

\( \Large 7x^{2} + 28x - 35x + 28 + 3 - 115 = 0 \)

\( \Large 7x^{2} - 7x - 84 =0 \)

Now, m + n = 1 ...(i)

and mn = - 12

Now \( \Large (m-n)^{2} = (m+n)^{2} - 4mn \)

= 1-4(-12)=49

m - n = + 7 ... (ii)

Now solving equation (i) and (ii) we get

For m = 4

n = - 3

and m = 3, n = + 4

for m = 4 and n = - 3

Now 3m -n = 3(4) + 3 = 15

Option (C)is satisfied Option (C)is correct.
