[ "- 12", "- 6", "12", "6" ]
A
explanation : the sum of the roots of the quadratic equation ax 2 + bx + c = 0 are ( - b / a ) and the product of the roots are ( c / a ) . thus , in the equation ax 2 - 11 x + 40 = 0 , where a = a , b = - 1 and c = - 12 . we get , sum of the roots = 1 / a = 1 a = 1 product of the roots = - 12 / 1 = - 12 answer : a
