Detailed Solution

The given equation is x2-ax+b=0

Given that for the above equation, one root is n times the other

suppose that α,αn are the roots of the above equation

Sum of the roots is α+αn=a and product of the roots is αn+1=bα=b1n+1

Eliminate α from the above two equations to get the required condition 

Hence,  α,αn=b; α+αn=a b1/n+1+bn/n+1=a
