If the roots of the equation `x^3+3ax^2+3bx+c=0` are in `H.P.`, then(i) `2b^2=c(3ab-c)`(ii) `2b^3=c(3ab-c)`(iii) `2b^3=c^(2)(3ab-c)`(iv) `2b^2=c^(2)(3ab-c)`A. `beta = (1)/(alpha)`B. `beta = b`C. `beta = (c)/(b)`D. `beta = (b)/(c)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Clearly, `(1)/(alpha), (1)/(beta), (1)/(gamma)` are the roots of the equation `-cx^(3) + 3bx^(2) - 3ax + 1 = 0` and are in A.P.
Now, `(1)/(alpha), (1)/(beta), (1)/(gamma) = (3b)/(c)`
`rArr" "(3)/(beta) = (3b)/(c)" "[therefore (1)/(alpha)+(1)/(gamma)=(2)/(beta)]`
`rArr" "beta = (c)/(b)`
