Let the mean and the variance of seven observations $2, 4, \alpha, 8, \beta, 12, 14$ (where $\alpha < \beta$) be $8$ and $16$ respectively. Then the quadratic equation whose roots are $3\alpha + 2$ and $2\beta + 1$ is:

  • A
    $x^2 - 35x + 306 = 0$
  • B
    $x^2 - 41x + 420 = 0$
  • C
    $x^2 - 45x + 506 = 0$
  • D
    $x^2 - 37x + 342 = 0$
