Mathematics Question from JEE Main 2026 · 21 January, Shift 2

Let α\alpha and β\beta be the roots of the equation x2+2ax+(3a+10)=0x^2 + 2ax + (3a + 10) = 0 such that α<1<β\alpha < 1 < \beta. Then the set of all possible values of aa is :

  • A

    (−∞,−115)∪(5,∞)(-\infty, -\frac{11}{5}) \cup (5, \infty)

  • B

    (−∞,−3)(-\infty, -3)

  • C

    (−∞,−2)∪(5,∞)(-\infty, -2) \cup (5, \infty)

  • D

    (−∞,−115)(-\infty, -\frac{11}{5})
