The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem, we will break it down into steps based on the conditions provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the first equation Given the equation: \[ (d + a - b)^2 + (d + b - c)^2 = 0 \] Since the sum of two squares is zero, both squares must individually be zero. Therefore, we can set up the following equations: 1. \(d + a - b = 0\) 2. \(d + b - c = 0\) ### Step 2: Solve for \(d\) From the first equation: \[ d = b - a \] From the second equation: \[ d = c - b \] Since both expressions equal \(d\), we can set them equal to each other: \[ b - a = c - b \] ### Step 3: Rearrange the equation Rearranging the equation gives: \[ 2b = a + c \] This implies: \[ b = \frac{a + c}{2} \] This shows that \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) are in Arithmetic Progression (AP). ### Step 4: Analyze the second equation The second equation given is: \[ a(b - c)x^2 + b(c - a)x + c(a - b) = 0 \] For the roots to be real and equal, the discriminant must be zero: \[ B^2 - 4AC = 0 \] Here, \(A = a(b - c)\), \(B = b(c - a)\), and \(C = c(a - b)\). ### Step 5: Calculate the discriminant Calculating the discriminant: \[ [b(c - a)]^2 - 4[a(b - c)][c(a - b)] = 0 \] Expanding this gives: \[ b^2(c - a)^2 - 4ac(b - c)(a - b) = 0 \] ### Step 6: Substitute \(b\) in terms of \(a\) and \(c\) Substituting \(b = \frac{a + c}{2}\) into the discriminant: 1. Calculate \(b - c\) and \(c - a\): \[ b - c = \frac{a + c}{2} - c = \frac{a - c}{2} \] \[ c - a = c - a \] ### Step 7: Simplify the discriminant condition Substituting these values into the discriminant condition and simplifying will lead to relationships among \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\). ### Step 8: Check for GP condition From the discriminant condition, we can derive that: \[ b^2 = ac \] This shows that \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) are in Geometric Progression (GP). ### Step 9: Check for HP condition Since we have established that \(b = \frac{a + c}{2}\), we can also show that: \[ \frac{1}{b} = \frac{2}{a + c} \] This implies that \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) are in Harmonic Progression (HP). ### Conclusion Thus, we conclude that: 1. \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) are in AP. 2. \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) are in GP. 3. \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) are in HP.
