A) A.P.
B) G.P.
C) H.P.
D) None of these
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Given equation is\[({{p}^{2}}+{{q}^{2}}){{x}^{2}}-2q(p+r)x+({{q}^{2}}+{{r}^{2}})=0\] Roots are real and equal, then \[4{{q}^{2}}{{(p+r)}^{2}}-4({{p}^{2}}+{{q}^{2}})({{q}^{2}}+{{r}^{2}})=0\] Þ\[{{q}^{2}}({{p}^{2}}+{{r}^{2}}+2pr)-({{p}^{2}}{{q}^{2}}+{{p}^{2}}{{r}^{2}}+{{q}^{4}}+{{q}^{2}}{{r}^{2}})=0\] Þ \[{{q}^{2}}{{p}^{2}}+{{q}^{2}}{{r}^{2}}+2p{{q}^{2}}r-{{p}^{2}}{{q}^{2}}-{{p}^{2}}{{r}^{2}}-{{q}^{4}}-{{q}^{2}}{{r}^{2}}=0\] Þ \[2p{{q}^{2}}r-{{p}^{2}}{{r}^{2}}-{{q}^{4}}=0\]Þ\[{{({{q}^{2}}-pr)}^{2}}=0\] Hence\[{{q}^{2}}=pr\]. Thus p, q, r in G.P.You need to login to perform this action.
