Solution
Let `alpha and beta`be the roots of quadratic equation`x^2 + ax + 3 =0`in such a way that `alpha = 1`
Here, a = 1, b = a and ,c = 3
Then , according to question sum of the roots
`alpha + beta = (-b)/ a`
`1 + beta = (-a)/1`
`beta = -a -1`
And the product of the roots
`alpha . beta = 3/1`
`1 xx beta = 3`
`beta = 3`
Therefore, value of other root be `beta = 3`.
Is there an error in this question or solution?
