Which of the following equations has the sum of its roots as 5?
Sum of roots in an equation : $$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$$ is $$-\frac{b}{a}$$
(A) :Â $$x^{2}-5x+6 = 0$$
=> Sum of roots = $$-\frac{-5}{1} = 5$$
(B) :Â $$x^{2}-6x-5 = 0$$
=> Sum of roots = $$-\frac{-6}{1} = 6$$
(C) :Â $$x^{2}+5x+6 = 0$$
=> Sum of roots = $$-\frac{5}{1} = -5$$
(D) :Â $$x^{2}+6x-5 = 0$$
=> Sum of roots = $$-\frac{6}{1} = -6$$
=> Ans - (A)
