Question based on Quadratic Equations?

If A and B are the roots of the equation x^2 + 4x + 5 = 0

Then the equation whose roots are (A + 1) and (B + 1) is

a ) x^2 + 2x + 2 = 0

b ) x^2 - 2x + 2 = 0

c ) x^2 - 2x - 2 = 0

d ) x^2 + 2x - 2 = 0

Also tell how U got the answer...

This is a one mark question so I need the shortest method possible...

    x^2 + 4x + 5 = 0 has roots

    A = -2+i , and B = -2 - i

    or x = -2+i , and x = -2 - i

    new roots are = X = -2+i+1 , and x = -2 - i + 1

    X = -1+i , and X = -1 - i

    Req. Eqn = (X +1-i) ( X+1+i) = 0

    = x² + 2x +2 =0

    Hence Ans: A.

    may be you would llike to check the authenticity of the source.The equation has no real roots....

    b^2-4ac=16-20 which is negative....none of the options
