Options
- AGeometric Progression
- BArithmetic Progression
- CHarmonic Progression
- DArithmetico-Geometric Progression
Correct answer
B. Arithmetic Progression
Step-by-step solution
Consider x^3-6 x^2+11 x-6=0 ...(i) Since x=1 , satisfies the above equation. Hence (x-1) will be a factor of equation (i) Therefore aligned & x^2(x-1)-5 x(x-1)+6(x-1)=0 & (x^2-5 x+6 )(x-1)=0 & (x-3)(x-2)(x-1)=0 x=1,2,3 aligned Since 2-1=1=3-2 Hence roots of equation is in Arithmetic progression.
