उत्तर
Let the first root be α, then the second root will be 6a
Sum of roots = `(-"b")/"a"`
`=> "a" + 6"a" = 14/"p"`
`=> 7"a" = 14/"p"`
`=> "a" = 2/"p"`
Product of roots = `"c"/"a"`
`=> "a"xx 6"a" = 8/"p"`
`=> 6"a"^2 = 8/"p"`
`=> 6(2/"p")^2 = 8/"p"`
`=>6xx4/"p"^2= 8/"p"`
`=>"p"=6xx4/8`
`=> "p" = 3`
Hence, the value of p is 3.
