For what value of a, the product of zeroes . . .

Question : For what value of a, the product of zeroes of the polynomial ax²-6x-12 is 4?
a) 6
b) 12
c) 2
d) -3

Doubt by Bhavya, Parth

Solution : 

ax²-6x-12
Here
a=a
b=-6
c=-12

Product of zeroes
αβ=4 (Given)
c/a=4
-12/a=4
-12/4=a
-3=a
a=-3

Hence, d) -3 would be the correct option.
