Correct option is (a) 3
One zero of the polynomial 3x2 + 8x + K is reciprocal of the other.
Assume that, “one of the zero of the above polynomial” is x, then another zero will be taken as \(\frac 1x\)
The product of the zeroes will be,
\((x) (\frac 1x) = \frac{\text{constant}}{x^2\text{coefficient }}\)
\(1 = \frac K3\)
\(K = 1 \times 3\)
\(K = 3\)
Thus, the value of K will be 3.
