================
We know that, General form of quadratic equations is
So, on comparing the given equation that is px² -2√5 px + 15 = 0 we get
a = p , b = -2√5 , c = 15
Now, If the roots of a quadratic equation are equal then its discriminant ( D )= 0
On solving ,
D = 0
b² - 4ac = 0
So, ( -2√5 p )² - 4×p ×15 = 0
=> 20p² - 60p = 0
=> 20p( p - 3) = 0
20p = 0 and ( p - 3 ) = 0
Therefore, p = 0 or p = 3

Answer: p=0 or p=3
here, a=p, b=-2root5 p, c=15
if equation has 2 real roots then, Discriminant is greater than or equal to zero.
Discriminant (D)= b² - 4ac = 0
=> ( -2√5 p )² - 4×p ×15 = 0
=> 20p² - 60p = 0
=> 20p( p - 3) = 0
20p = 0 and ( p - 3 ) = 0
Therefore, p = 0 or p = 3
