Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) -3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let roots of the equation \(8 x^3+6 p x^2+3 q x-27=0 \text { are } \frac{a}{r}, a, \text { ar. }\) \(\therefore \quad \frac{a}{r}+a+a r=\frac{-6 p}{8}=\frac{-3 p}{4}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad a\left(\frac{1}{r}+1+r\right)=\frac{-3 p}{4}\) \(\ldots\) (i)…
