Detailed Solution

Let the roots of the equation are a,2a,b then
The sum of the roots
a+2a+b = 7…..(i)
The product of the roots
a×2a×b = -36
Or, 2a2b=-36……(ii)
And
2a2 + ab + 2ab = 0
or, a(2a+3b) = 0
so, b = -2a3…..(iii)
From (ii) we get,-4a33=-36
Or, a3=1084=27
Or, a = 3
Then, 2a = 3×2=6
From (iii)
b=-63=-2
Hence the roots are 3, 6 and -2.
So, all of the above are correct.
