Hint: - Use sum of the roots $ = \dfrac{{ - {\text{Coefficient of }}x}}{{{\text{Coefficient of }}{x^2}}}$, and product of roots $ = \dfrac{{{\text{constant term}}}}{{{\text{Coefficient of }}{x^2}}}$
Given quadratic equation ${x^2} + f\left( a \right)x + a = 0$
Let $\alpha $and $\beta $be the roots of the equation.
As you know sum of the roots $ = \dfrac{{ - {\text{Coefficient of }}x}}{{{\text{Coefficient of }}{x^2}}}$
And product of roots $ = \dfrac{{{\text{constant term}}}}{{{\text{Coefficient of }}{x^2}}}$
$
\Rightarrow \alpha + \beta = \dfrac{{ - f\left( a \right)}}{1} = - f\left( a \right).........\left( 1 \right), \\
\alpha \beta = \dfrac{a}{1} = a...............\left( 2 \right) \\
$
Now it is given that one root is the cube of other
$ \Rightarrow {\alpha ^3} = \beta $
From equation 2, considering real values of $\alpha $ we get
$
{\alpha ^3}\alpha = a \\
\Rightarrow {\alpha ^4} = a \\
\Rightarrow \alpha = \pm {a^{\dfrac{1}{4}}} \\
$
For positive value of $\alpha $
$ \Rightarrow \alpha = + {a^{\dfrac{1}{4}}}.............\left( 3 \right)$
Therefore from equation 1
$
\alpha + \beta = - f\left( a \right) \\
\Rightarrow \alpha + {\alpha ^3} = - f\left( a \right) \\
$
Now, from equation 3
\[
\Rightarrow {a^{\dfrac{1}{4}}} + {a^{\dfrac{3}{4}}} = - f\left( a \right) \\
\Rightarrow f\left( a \right) = - \left( {{a^{\dfrac{1}{4}}} + {a^{\dfrac{3}{4}}}} \right) \\
\Rightarrow f\left( a \right) = - {a^{\dfrac{1}{4}}}\left( {1 + {a^{\dfrac{1}{2}}}} \right) \\
\]
Now, in place of $a$ substitute $x$ in the above equation.
\[ \Rightarrow f\left( x \right) = - {x^{\dfrac{1}{4}}}\left( {1 + {x^{\dfrac{1}{2}}}} \right)\]
Hence, option (b) is correct.
Note: - In such types of questions the key concept we have to remember is that for a quadratic equation always remember the sum of roots and product of roots which is stated above, then simplify according to the given condition we will get the required answer.
