Question

If a,b,c are in AP such that a+b+c=0,then roots of the equation px 2 +qx+b=0;(pq&ne;0) are a.real and identical b.real and distinct c.imaginary d.none of these

Ashwin Muralidharan IIT Madras · Answer

Hi Menka,

Now a,b,c are in AP. So 2b=a+c

a+b+c = 0, will give 3b=0 or b=0.

Hence the QE becomes, px^2 + qx = 0.

Hence one root is 0, and the other is -q/p.

Since pq is not zero, the value -q/p can never be 0.

Hence real and distinct roots. Option (B).

Hope it helps.

Best Regards,

Ashwin (IIT Madras).
