Detailed Solution

We have a>b>ci

a+b2cx2+b+c2ax+c+a2b=0ii

ii   has a root in the interval 1,0 we have f1.f0<0

2abcc+a2b<0iii

From (i) a>b    &  a>c

ab>0       ac>0

From (iii)  & (iv)  c+a2b<0

c+a<2b

 Sum of coefficients in (ii) is zero

  roots are 1 & c+a2ba+b2c

Determinant of ax2+2bx+c=0 is 4b24ac=D

c+a<2b

4b2>c+a24b24ac>c+a24acD>ca2D>0

Also each of a,b,c is positive

ax2+2bx+c=0 has real negative roots.

Similary cx2+2ax+b=0 has both negative real roots.
