Solution

The correct options are
B $a_{3}, a_{4}, a_{5}$ are in A.P.
D $a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}$ 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
$6 x^{4} - 35 x^{3} + 62 x^{2} - 35 x + 6 = 0$
Divide above equation by $x^{2}$ ,
$6 (x^{2} + \frac{1}{x^{2}}) - 35 (x + \frac{1}{x}) + 62 = 0$
Put $x + \frac{1}{x} = y$
$\Rightarrow (x^{2} + \frac{1}{x^{2}}) = y^{2} - 2$
$\Rightarrow 6 (y^{2} - 2) - 35 y + 62 = 0 \Rightarrow (3 y - 10) (2 y - 5) = 0 \Rightarrow y = x + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{10}{3} or \frac{5}{2}$
$\Rightarrow 3 x^{2} - 10 x + 3 = 0 or 2 x^{2} - 5 x + 2 = 0 \Rightarrow (3 x - 1) (x - 3) = 0 or (2 x - 1) (x - 2) = 0 \Rightarrow x = \frac{1}{3}, 3 or x = \frac{1}{2}, 2$
$∴ (a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}, a_{4}, a_{5}) = (\frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{2}, 1, 2, 3)$
$\Rightarrow a_{3}, a_{4}, a_{5}$ are in A.P.
$\Rightarrow a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}$ are in H.P.
