MCQ

If the determinant $\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}&\text{b}&2\text{a}\alpha+3\text{b}\\\text{b}&\text{c}&2\text{b}\alpha+3\text{c}\\2\text{a}\alpha+ 3\text{b}&2\text{b}\alpha+3\text{c}&0\end{vmatrix}=0,$ then:

A
$a, b, c$ are in $H.P.$
✓
$\alpha$ is a root of $4ax^2 + 12bx + 9c = 0$ or $a, b, c$ are in $G.P.$
C
$a, b, c$ are in $G.P.$ only.
D
$a, b, c$ are in $A.P.$

Answer

Correct option: B.

$\alpha$ is a root of $4ax^2 + 12bx + 9c = 0$ or $a, b, c$ are in $G.P.$

Let $\triangle=\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}&\text{b}&2\text{a}\alpha+3\text{b}\\\text{b}&\text{c}&2\text{b}\alpha+3\text{c}\\2\text{a}\alpha+3\text{b}&2\text{b}\alpha+3\text{c}&0\end{vmatrix}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}-\text{b}&\text{b}&2\text{a}\alpha+3\text{b}\\\text{b}-\text{c}& \text{c}&2\text{b}\alpha+3\text{c}\\2\text{a}\alpha+ 3\text{b}-2\text{b}\alpha-3&2\text{b}\alpha+3\text{c}&0\end{vmatrix} [$Applying $C_1 \rightarrow C_1- C_2]$
$=\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}-\text{b}&\text{b}&2\text{a}\alpha+3\text{b}\\\text{b}-\text{c}& \text{c}&2\text{b}\alpha+3\text{c}\\2(\text{a}-\text{b})\alpha+3(\text{b}-\text{c})&2\text{b}\alpha+3\text{b}&0\end{vmatrix}$
$=2\alpha(2\text{a}\alpha+3\text{b})-3(2\text{b}\alpha+3\text{c})\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}-\text{b}&\text{b}\\\text{b}-\text{c}&\text{c}\end{vmatrix} [$Expanding along $R_3]$
$=-(4\text{a}\alpha^2+12\text{b}\alpha+9\text{c})(\text{ac}-\text{b}^2)$
But $\triangle=0 [$Given$]$
$\Rightarrow-(4\text{a}\alpha^2+12\text{b}\alpha+9\text{c})(\text{ac}-\text{b}^2)=0$
$\Rightarrow(4\text{a}\alpha^2+12\text{b}\alpha+9\text{c})=0$
Or $(\text{ac}-\text{b}^2)=0$
$\Rightarrow\alpha$ is a root of $4ax^2 + 12bx + 9c = 0$
Or $ac = b^2,$ i.e. $a, b, c$ are in $G.P.$
