The correct options are
B a3,a4,a5 are in A.P.
D a1,a2,a3 are in H.P.
This is a reciprocal equation of odd degree with opposite signs.
∴x=1 is a root.
Dividing L.H.S. by x−1, the given equation reduces to
6x4−35x3+62x2−35x+6=0
Divide above equation by x2,
6(x2+1x2)−35(x+1x)+62=0
Put x+1x=y
⇒(x2+1x2)=y2−2
⇒6(y2−2)−35y+62=0⇒(3y−10)(2y−5)=0⇒y=x+1x=103 or 52
⇒3x2−10x+3=0 or 2x2−5x+2=0⇒(3x−1)(x−3)=0 or (2x−1)(x−2)=0⇒x=13,3 or x=12,2
∴(a1,a2,a3,a4,a5)=(13,12,1,2,3)
⇒a3,a4,a5 are in A.P.
⇒a1,a2,a3 are in H.P.
