Given that `alpha,gamma` are roots of the equation `A x^2-4x+1=0,a n dbeta,delta` the roots of the equation of `B x^2-6x+1=0,` such that `alpha,beta,gamma,a n ddelta` are in H.P., then

A

`A=3`

B

`A=4`

C

`B=2`

D

`B=8`

Text Solution

Since `alpha,beta, gamma` and `delta` are in HP hence `1/(alpha),1/(beta),1/(gamma)` and `1/(delta)` are in AP and they may be take as a `a-3d, a-d, a+d` and `a+3d`. Replaceing `x` by `1/x` we get the equation whose roots are `a-3d, a+d` is `x^(2)-4x+A=0` and equation whose roots are `a-d,a+3d` is `x^(2)-6x+B=0` then
`(a-3d)+(a+d)=4implies2(a-d)=4`
and `(a-d)+(a+3d)=6implies2(a+d)=6`
`:.a=5/2` and `d=1/2`
Now `A=(a-3d)(a+d)=(5/2-3/2)(5/2+1/2)=3`
and `B=(a-d)(a+3d)(5/2-1/2)(5/2+3/2)=8`
