    If \[a,\,\,b,\,\,c\] are in\[G\,\,P\], then the equations \[a{{x}^{2}}+2bx+c=0\] and \[d{{x}^{2}}+2ex+f=0\] have a common root, if\[\frac{d}{a},\,\,\frac{e}{b},\,\,\frac{f}{c}\]are in

    A) \[AP\]                                  

    B) \[GP\]

    C) \[HP\]                                  

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[a,\,\,\,b,\,\,\,c\] are in\[GP\], therefore\[{{b}^{2}}=ac\] Now,     \[a{{x}^{2}}+2bx+c=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[a{{x}^{2}}+2\sqrt{ac}x+c=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{(\sqrt{ax}+\sqrt{c})}^{2}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x=-\frac{\sqrt{c}}{\sqrt{a}}\] Putting\[x=-\sqrt{\frac{c}{a}}\]in\[d{{x}^{2}}+2ex+f=0\], we get                 \[d\frac{c}{a}-2e\sqrt{\frac{c}{a}}+f=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{d}{a}-2e\cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{ac}}+\frac{f}{c}=0\]                                 \[(\because \]dividing both sides by\[c)\]. \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{d}{a}-\frac{2e}{b}+\frac{f}{c}=0\]                              \[[\because \,\,{{b}^{2}}=ac]\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{d}{a}+\frac{f}{c}=\frac{2e}{b}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{d}{a},\,\,\frac{e}{b},\,\,\frac{f}{c}\]are in \[GP\].
