Since the roots are in g.p., let them be k, kr, kr^2. We know that the sum of the roots of a cubic equations equals -b/a. This means k + kr + kr^2 = -b/a. Let that be equations number 1. We also know that k(kr) + k(kr^2) = kr(kr^2) = c/a , which means (k^2)r + (k^2)r^2 + (k^2)r^3 = c/a, which implies kr( k + kr + kr^2) = c/a [ Taking kr common ] . Now, substituting equation 1 into this equation, we get kr(-b/a) = c/a, which implies that kr = -c/b [ the a’s get cancelled out ] . Let this be equation number 2. Now, the products of the roots of a cubic equation = -d/a , this implis that k(kr)(kr^2) = -d/a, which implies (kr)^3 = -d/a . Substituting equation 2 in this equation, we get (-c/b)^3 = -d/a, which implies that -c^3/b^3 =-d/a, and (-c^3)a = (-b^3)d, or (c^3)a = (b^3)d. Hence proved
