Answer:
Given -
px² - 14x + 8 = 0
Let one of the roots be 'a' , then the other root is '6a'
a + 6a = 14/p
7a = 14/p
a = 2/p ---(i)
a x 6a = 8/p
6a² = 8/p
Plugging the value of a from eq (i),
6 x (2/p)² = 8/p
6 x 4/p² = 8/p
24/p = 8 (Cancelling 'p' from both the sides)
8p = 24
p = 3
So required value of 'p' is 3
