The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the function \( f_k(x) \) given in the question and check the validity of the options provided. ### Step 1: Understanding the Sequence The sequence \( a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots \) is in Arithmetic Progression (A.P.). This means there exists a common difference \( d \) such that: - \( a_2 = a_1 + d \) - \( a_3 = a_1 + 2d \) ### Step 2: Define the Function The function is defined as: \[ f_k(x) = a_k x^2 + 2a_{k+1} x + a_{k+2} \] For \( k = 1 \): \[ f_1(x) = a_1 x^2 + 2a_2 x + a_3 \] For \( k = 2 \): \[ f_2(x) = a_2 x^2 + 2a_3 x + a_4 \] For \( k = 3 \): \[ f_3(x) = a_3 x^2 + 2a_4 x + a_5 \] ### Step 3: Check Option 1 We need to check if \( f_k(x) = 0 \) has real roots for \( k \in \mathbb{N} \). Using the quadratic formula, the roots of \( f_k(x) = 0 \) are given by: \[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \] where \( a = a_k \), \( b = 2a_{k+1} \), and \( c = a_{k+2} \). ### Step 4: Calculate the Discriminant The discriminant \( D \) is: \[ D = (2a_{k+1})^2 - 4a_k a_{k+2} = 4a_{k+1}^2 - 4a_k a_{k+2} \] For real roots, we need \( D \geq 0 \): \[ a_{k+1}^2 \geq a_k a_{k+2} \] ### Step 5: Check Option 2 We need to check if \( f_k(x) = 0 \) has one root in common for \( k = 1 \) and \( k = 2 \). From the previous calculations, we can analyze the roots of \( f_1(x) \) and \( f_2(x) \) to see if they share a common root. ### Step 6: Check Option 3 We need to check if the non-common roots of \( f_1(x) \), \( f_2(x) \), and \( f_3(x) \) form an A.P. This involves finding the roots of each function and checking the condition for A.P. ### Step 7: Conclusion After evaluating the options: - Option 1 is correct as \( f_k(x) = 0 \) has real roots. - Option 2 is also correct as \( f_1(x) \) and \( f_2(x) \) share a common root. - Option 3 is incorrect as the non-common roots do not form an A.P. ### Final Answer The correct options are 1 and 2.
