Solution

The correct option is B 27
x3+px2+qxq=0
α,β,λ are its roots
α+β+λ=p1
αβ+βλ+λα=q2
αβλ=q3
Now, α,β,λ, are in H.P
β=2αλα+λ
αβ+βλ=2αλ
αβ+βλ+λα=3αλ
q=3αλ (from equation 2)
q=3qβ (from equation 3)
β=3
Put value of β in equation 2
3α+3λ+αλ=q
3(α+λ)+αλ=q
use equation 2 and 3 we get
3(pβ)+qβ=q
3(p3)+q3=q
3p9=2q3
9p27=2q
9p+2q=27
