Let \alpha & 2\alpha are roots of equation

\therefore \alpha +2\alpha =\frac{-2b}{a}\: \Rightarrow \: 3\alpha =\frac{-2b}{a}\: \Rightarrow \: \alpha =\frac{-2b}{3a}

\because \: \alpha is root of quadratic , So it will satisfy the equation.

a\left ( \frac{4b^{2}}{9a^{2}} \right )-\frac{4b^{2}}{3a}+c=0

\Rightarrow \: c=\frac{4b^{2}}{3a}-\frac{4b^{2}}{9a}\: \Rightarrow \: c=\frac{8b^{2}}{9a}

\Rightarrow \: 8b^{2}=9ac

\therefore Option (B)

 

Sum of Roots in Quadratic Equation -

\alpha +\beta = \frac{-b}{a}

- wherein

\alpha \: and\beta are root of quadratic equation

ax^{2}+bx+c=0

a,b,c\in C
