Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(c^3=b^3 d\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation, \(x^3-b x^2+c x-d=0\) Let the roots of this cubic equation in GP are \(\left(\frac{a}{r}, a, a r\right)\) Then, Sum of the roots \(\frac{a}{r}+a+a r=-\left(\frac{-b}{1}\right) \Rightarrow b\) \(\Rightarrow \quad a\left(\frac{1}{r}+1+r\right)=b\) \(\ldots\) (i) and…
