SINCE THE ROOTS OF THE FIRST EQN ARE COMPLEX, BOTH THE GIVEN ROOTS WILL HAVE THE SAME ROOTS (SINCE a,b,c BELONG TO N).
HENCE MIN(a+b+c)=1+3+5=9

but even if a,b,c didn't belong to n then also both the roots of both the eqns. would hv been common i guess...!!

@rahul;yes the roots wud hv been common but then we cant find the min value of a+b+c+d....

@Aditya - actually yes... but i said is it necessary for a,b,c to be natural... i meant it can be real as well.. as the main idea to mention a,b,c E N in this question is that it helps in calculating the mininmum value of a,b and c nd so i wrote that.... well yes... i got your point ...!!
