The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given information about the roots of the quadratic equations and their relationship in Harmonic Progression (H.P.). ### Step 1: Identify the roots and their relationships Given: - The roots α and γ are from the equation \( A x^2 - 4x + 1 = 0 \). - The roots β and δ are from the equation \( B x^2 - 6x + 1 = 0 \). - The roots α, β, γ, and δ are in H.P. Since α, β, γ, and δ are in H.P., the reciprocals \( \frac{1}{\alpha}, \frac{1}{\beta}, \frac{1}{\gamma}, \frac{1}{\delta} \) are in A.P. ### Step 2: Use Vieta's formulas From Vieta's formulas: - For the equation \( A x^2 - 4x + 1 = 0 \): - Sum of roots: \( α + γ = \frac{4}{A} \) - Product of roots: \( αγ = \frac{1}{A} \) - For the equation \( B x^2 - 6x + 1 = 0 \): - Sum of roots: \( β + δ = \frac{6}{B} \) - Product of roots: \( βδ = \frac{1}{B} \) ### Step 3: Set up the equations for H.P. Since \( \frac{1}{\alpha}, \frac{1}{\beta}, \frac{1}{\gamma}, \frac{1}{\delta} \) are in A.P., we can express them as: - \( \frac{1}{\alpha} = a - 3d \) - \( \frac{1}{\beta} = a - d \) - \( \frac{1}{\gamma} = a + d \) - \( \frac{1}{\delta} = a + 3d \) ### Step 4: Establish relationships using sums From the H.P. condition: 1. The sum of the first and last terms equals the sum of the middle terms: \[ (a - 3d) + (a + 3d) = (a - d) + (a + d) \] Simplifying gives: \[ 2a = 2a \quad \text{(This holds true)} \] ### Step 5: Find expressions for sums and products Using the relationships we derived from Vieta’s formulas: - For \( α + γ \): \[ \frac{1}{\alpha} + \frac{1}{\gamma} = \frac{α + γ}{αγ} = \frac{4/A}{1/A} = 4 \implies (a - 3d) + (a + d) = 4 \] Simplifying gives: \[ 2a - 2d = 4 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] - For \( β + δ \): \[ \frac{1}{\beta} + \frac{1}{\delta} = \frac{β + δ}{βδ} = \frac{6/B}{1/B} = 6 \implies (a - d) + (a + 3d) = 6 \] Simplifying gives: \[ 2a + 2d = 6 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 6: Solve the system of equations Now we have two equations: 1. \( 2a - 2d = 4 \) (Equation 1) 2. \( 2a + 2d = 6 \) (Equation 2) Adding these two equations: \[ (2a - 2d) + (2a + 2d) = 4 + 6 \implies 4a = 10 \implies a = \frac{5}{2} \] Substituting \( a \) back into Equation 1: \[ 2\left(\frac{5}{2}\right) - 2d = 4 \implies 5 - 2d = 4 \implies 2d = 1 \implies d = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 7: Find values of A and B Now we can find \( A \) and \( B \): - For \( A \): \[ A = \frac{1}{αγ} = \frac{1}{\left(\frac{1}{a - 3d}\right)\left(\frac{1}{a + d}\right)} = \frac{1}{\left(\frac{1}{\frac{5}{2} - \frac{3}{2}}\right)\left(\frac{1}{\frac{5}{2} + \frac{1}{2}}\right)} = \frac{1}{\left(\frac{1}{1}\right)\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)} = 3 \] - For \( B \): \[ B = \frac{1}{βδ} = \frac{1}{\left(\frac{1}{a - d}\right)\left(\frac{1}{a + 3d}\right)} = \frac{1}{\left(\frac{1}{\frac{5}{2} - \frac{1}{2}}\right)\left(\frac{1}{\frac{5}{2} + \frac{3}{2}}\right)} = \frac{1}{\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)} = 8 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the values are: - \( A = 3 \) - \( B = 8 \) ### Final Answer The correct options are: - \( A = 3 \) (Option a) - \( B = 8 \) (Option d)
