mod x1 = mod x2 => x1 & x2 have same value but opposite in sign.

in this case b=0
eqn is ax^2+c = 0 => x=sqrt(-c/a)
for x to be real (-c/a) should +ve => c & a are of opposite sign
so c>a or a>c

for ex x^2-4=0 => x1=-2,x2=2 & modx1=modx2=2 [a>c]
or may -x^2+4=0 => x1=-2,x2=2 & modx1=modx2=2 [c>a]

(d) none

since x1*x2=c/a
x1*x2= +VE ( x1=|x2| )
c/a= +ve Const.
so c=a(Const)
hence c>a .......... similarly

x1+x2= const= b/a
b= a*const
so b>a
but we have c>a in option ...... it is the ans..

i'm not sure but mod x1=mod x2 when b=0;then ax^2+c=0,x=underroot(-c/a),for this (-c/a) should be positive ,for this either c or a can be negative not both(for real roots)...so ans. is none

|x1| = |x2|, means either both are same or both have opposite sign. Lets consder the first case. (x-2)^2 = x^2 - 2x + 4, a=1,b=-2,c=4. so if both root are same then. a is always 1,b is negative and c is always positive. so c>a.
