Let the additional root of f ( x ) be λ .
Using Vieta's Formula, product of roots of g ( x ) is − c and product of roots of f ( x ) is c .
∴ − c × λ = c ⟹ λ = − 1
Also, Using Vieta's Formula, sum of roots of g ( x ) is − a and sum of roots of f ( x ) is − 1 .
∴ − a + λ = − 1 ⟹ a = 0
hence f ( x ) = ( x + 1 ) g ( x )
∴ f ( 1 ) = 2 g ( 1 )
⟹ 1 0 2 + b + c = 2 × ( 1 + b + c )
⟹ b + c = 1 0 0
f ( 1 ) = 2 × ( 1 + 1 0 0 ) = 2 0 2
