If the roots of \(x^3+a x^2+b x+c=0\) are in arithmetic progression with common difference 1 , then

  1. A \(9 c=a(b-2)\)
  2. B \(9 c=a(2-b)\)
  3. C \(9 c-a^2(b-2)=0\)
  4. D \(9 c-a^2(2-b)=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(9 c=a(b-2)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the roots of \(x^3+a x^2+b x+c=0\) are \(\alpha-1, \alpha, \alpha+1\) as roots are in AP with common difference 1 . Now, sum of roots \(=3 \alpha=-a\) \(\ldots(\mathrm{i})\) Sum of product of roots taking two at a time…
