Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 30

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation is \(x^5-a x^4+b x-c x+d x-1=0\). Here, geometrical mean and arithmetic mean are equal then all the roots are equal. Let \(\alpha\) is the root of the equation. \(\frac{\alpha+\alpha+\alpha+\alpha+\alpha}{5}=\left(\alpha^5\right)^{1 / 5}\) Here, sum of all roots…
