The quadratic equation whose roots are reciprocal of the roots of the equation \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \)
can be obtained by replacing x by \(\frac{1}{x}\).
Thus, the required equation is \(cx^2 + bx + a = 0\).

Let assume the two roots to be p and q.
Sum of the roots (p+q)=-b/a ........[i]
Product of the roots be (pq)= c/a......[ii]
Now, the reciprocal of the roots will be 1/p and 1/q.
Replace the new roots in the i and ii to find the sum & product of the roots.
And the new equation will be cx^2+bx+a=0.
Answers is A.
