If $\alpha, \beta$ are the roots of $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ and $\alpha + \beta, \alpha^2 + \beta^2, \alpha^3 + \beta^3$ are in $G.P.$,where $\Delta = b^2 - 4ac$,then:

If $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ are the roots of the equation $x^3 + x^2 + x + 1 = 0$,then match the items of List-$I$ with those of List-$II$:
List-$I$:
$(i)$ $\frac{1}{\alpha} + \frac{1}{\beta} + \frac{1}{\gamma}$
(ii) $\alpha^3 + \beta^3 + \gamma^3$
(iii) $\alpha^4 + \beta^4 + \gamma^4$
(iv) $(\alpha - \beta)^2 + (\beta - \gamma)^2 + (\gamma - \alpha)^2$
List-$II$:
$(A)$ $-1$
$(B)$ $-4$
$(C)$ $1$
$(D)$ $3$
$(E)$ $0$

The equation formed by decreasing each root of $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ by $1$ is $2x^2 + 8x + 2 = 0$. Then:

Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be the roots of $x^2-6x-2=0$,with $\alpha > \beta$. If $a_n = \alpha^n - \beta^n$ for $n \geq 1$,then the value of $\frac{a_{10}-2a_8}{2a_9}$ is

If one of the roots of the equation $x^2+px+q=0$ is equal to the square of the other,then:

If the roots of the equation $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ are $\alpha$ and $\beta$,then the value of $\alpha\beta^2 + \alpha^2\beta + \alpha\beta$ will be
