If a, b, c are positive real numbers such that the equations `ax^(2) + bx + c = 0 and bx^(2) + cx + a = 0`, have a common root, thenA. `1: 2: 3`B. `3: 2: 1`C. `1: 3 : 2`D. `3 : 1 : 2 `

Answer» Correct Answer - 1
` x^(2) + 2x + 3 = 0 `
` D = 2^(2) - 4 .1.3 lt 0 `
i.e., both roots are complex.
Hence , both roots are common of ` x^(2) + 2x + 3 = 0 `
and ` ax ^(2) + bx + c = 0`
`therefore (a)/(1) = (b)/(2) = (c)/(3)` .
