Detailed Explanation

Question 2 of 5 NDA MCQ

For the following two (02) items:

Consider the equation abx2 + bcx + ca = cax2 + abx + bc

If the roots of the equation are equal, then a, b, c are in

Detailed Explanation

From the result 1/a + 1/c = 2/b, the reciprocals 1/a, 1/b and 1/c are in AP. Therefore a, b and c are in HP. Hence option (c) is correct.
