Detailed Solution

The given equation isa(b-c)x2+b(c-a)x+c(a-b)=0

Since the sum of coefficients =0

x=1 is a root 

The other root is ca-bab-c

If the roots are equal ca-bab-c=1

It implies that 

        ca-bc=ab-ac2ac=ab+bc2b=1a+1c

If a=b=c then the equation is an identity. so it has infinitely many solution
