Detailed Solution

The given equation is ax2+bx+c=0

α,β  are the roots of given equation

Sum of the roots : α+β=ba

Product of the roots : αβ=ca

By the given condition, roots are equal to the sum of squares of reciprocals

 α+β =1α2+1β2

α+β=(α+β)22αβ(αβ)2

ba=b22acc2

bc2=ab22a2c

2a2c=bc2+ab2

This condition is satisfies Arithmetic progression

So  ab2,ca2,bc2  are in A.P. is correct option.
