Solution
The correct option is B−27 x3+px2+qx−q=0 α,β,λ are its roots ∴α+β+λ=−p⟶1 αβ+βλ+λα=q⟶2 αβλ=q⟶3 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(−p−β)+qβ=q 3(−p−3)+q3=q −3p−9=2q3 −9p−27=2q 9p+2q=−27
