Vedclass · Answer

(C) Since $a, b$ and $c$ are in $GP$, we have $b^{2} = ac$. Taking the natural logarithm on both sides, we get $2 \log_{e} b = \log_{e} a + \log_{e} c$. Given the quadratic equation $(\log_{e} a) x^{2} - (2 \log_{e} b) x + \log_{e} c = 0$. Substituting $x = 1$ into the equation, we get $(\log_{e} a) - (2 \log_{e} b) + \log_{e} c = 0$, which simplifies to $\log_{e} a + \log_{e} c = 2 \log_{e} b$, which is true. Thus, $x = 1$ is one root of the equation. Let the other root be $\alpha$. The product of the roots is given by $\frac{\log_{e} c}{\log_{e} a}$. Therefore, $1 	imes \alpha = \frac{\log_{e} c}{\log_{e} a} = \log_{a} c$. Hence, the roots are $1$ and $\log_{a} c$.

If $a, b$ and $c$ are positive numbers in a $GP$, then the roots of the quadratic equation $(\log_{e} a) x^{2} - (2 \log_{e} b) x + (\log_{e} c) = 0$ are
