(A) Given equation: $\frac{\alpha}{x - \alpha} + \frac{\beta}{x - \beta} = 1$Multiplying by $(x - \alpha)(x - \beta)$,we get:$\alpha(x - \beta) + \beta(x - \alpha) = (x - \alpha)(x - \beta)$$\alpha x - \alpha \beta + \beta x - \alpha \beta = x^2 - (\alpha + \beta)x + \alpha \beta$$x^2 - (\alpha + \beta)x - (\alpha + \beta)x + 3\alpha \beta = 0$$x^2 - 2(\alpha + \beta)x + 3\alpha \beta = 0$Let the roots be $k$ and $-k$. Since the sum of the roots is equal to the coefficient of $x$ with a negative sign:$k + (-k) = 2(\alpha + \beta)$$0 = 2(\alpha + \beta)$$\alpha + \beta = 0$

If the roots of the equation $\frac{\alpha}{x - \alpha} + \frac{\beta}{x - \beta} = 1$ are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign,then $\alpha + \beta =$
