      Q. Let c, d be the roots of the equation x^2 – 10a – 11d = 0. And a, b be the roots of the equation x^2 – 10c – 11b = 0. What is the value of a + b + c + d?

        c+d=10a ; a+b=10c ;
        hence , a+b+c+d=10(a+c)

        cd=-11d=> c=-11 [since d =/= 0]
        ab=-11b=> a=-11 [since b=/= 0]
        hence a+b+c+d = 10 x -22 =-220
