Solution
Let `alpha = 0, beta=0` and y be the zeros of the polynomial
f(x)= ax3 + bx2 + cx + d
Therefore
`alpha + ß + y= (-text{coefficient of }X^2)/(text{coefficient of } x^3)`
`= -(b/a)`
`alpha+beta+y = -b/a`
`0+0+y = -b/a`
`y = - b/a`
`\text{The value of} y - b/a`
Hence, the correct choice is `(c).`
