Let $a , b \in R , a \neq 0$ be such that the equation, $a x ^ { 2 } - 2 b x + 5 = 0$ has a repeated root $\alpha$, which is also a root of the equation, $x ^ { 2 } - 2 b x - 10 = 0$. If $\beta$ is the other root of this equation, then $\alpha ^ { 2 } + \beta ^ { 2 }$ is equal to:\\
(1) 25\\
(2) 26\\
(3) 28\\
(4) 24
