Let a,b be the roots of x²-x+p=0 and c,d be the roots of x²-4x+q=0 . If a,b,c,d are in GP, then integral values of p and q will be ???????

Answer»

<P>ANSWER:

b/a=C/b=d/c=k

a+b=1. a=1/(1+k)

ab=p a*a*k=p. k/(k+1)'2=p. 1/k +k +2 =1/p then

c+d=4. c=4/(1+k)

cd=q. c*c*k=q. 16/q =1/k +k +2

16/q =1/p

then q=-16 and p =-1

note 2<=k+1/k<=-2
