Given that α,γ are the roots of Ax24x+1=0

 α+γ=4A and αγ=1A  ... (i)

1α+1γ=4 Also, β and δ are the roots of Bx26x+1=0.

 β+δ=6B and βδ=1B  ... (ii)

1β+1δ=6

Also, it is given that α,β,γ,δHP

1α,1β,1γ,1δAP

Now, from Eq. (i), we get

1α+1γ=41α+1α+2d=42α+2d=41α+d=2    ... (iii)

Again, 1β+1δ=6

 1α+d+1α+3d=6 2α+4d=6 1α+2d=3                       ... (iv)

Solving Eqs (iii) and (iv), we get

α=1,δ=1

Now 1α,1β,1γ,1δ=1α,1α+d,1α+2d,1α+3d=11,11+1,11+2.1,11+3.1

=1,2,3,4

Thus α=1,β=12,γ=13,δ=14

Therefore, A=1αγ=3,B=1βδ=8
