Detailed Solution

It is given that f(x)=x33b2x+2c3 is divisible by xa and xb

 f(a)=0 and f(b)=0

a33b2a+2c3=0                          …(i)

and b33b3+2c3=0                          …(ii)

From (ii),  we get b =c.

Putting, b =c in (i), we get

a33ab2+2b30 (ab)a2+ab2b2=0

 a=b or     a  =  b

Thus, a=b=c or  a2+ab=2b2and b=c

Clearly, a2+ab=2b2 is satisfied by a=2b

a2+ab=2b2 and b=c

 a=2b and b=ca=2b=2c
