x^{2}-11x+a=0\; \; \; and \; \; x^{2}-14x+2a=0  have common root.

\\*\therefore (1\times a-1\times 2a)^{2}=\left [ (-11)(2a)-(-14)(a) \right ]\times \left [ 1\times (-14)-1(-11) \right ]\\*\Rightarrow a^{2}=(-8a)(-3)\\*\Rightarrow a^{2}-24a=0\Rightarrow a=0\; \; or\; \; a=24

 

Condition for one common root -

\left ( {a}' c-a{c}'\right )^{2}= \left ( b{c}' -{b}'c\right )\left ( a{b}' -{a}'b\right )

- wherein

ax^{2}+bx+c=0 &

a'x^{2}+b'x+c'=0

are the 2 equations
