Detailed Solution

The given equation is ax2+bx+c=0

Given ratio of the roots are m:n

Let the roots be mα and nα.

then sum of the roots: mα+nα=ba

(m+n)2α2=b2a2    …… ( 1 )

Product of the roots:  (mα)(nα)=ca

mnα2=ca     …… ( 2 )

Dividing ( 1 ) by ( 2 ),

 we get (m+n)2α2mnα2=b2a2ca

      (m+n)2ac=b2mn
