SOLUTION :-

comparing 2x³ - 3x² + 4x - 1 = 0 with ax³ + bx² + cx + d = 0 we get,

since ROOTS are r, s and t ,

we know that,

then,

→ (r + s + t)² = r² + s² + t² + 2(rs + st + rt)

→ r² + s² + t² = (r + s + t)² - 2(rs + st + rt)

putting all values we get,

→ r² + s² + t² = (3/2)² - 2(2)

→ r² + s² + t² = (9/4) - 4

→ r² + s² + t² = (9 - 16)/4

→ r² + s² + t² = (-7/4) (Ans.)
