Detailed Solution

A=a(bc)(a+b+c)B=b(ca)(a+b+c)C=c(ab)(a+b+c)

Now, Ax2+Bx+C=0

 (a+b+c)a(bc)x2+b(ca)x+c(ab)=0

Given that roots are equal. Hence,

 D = 0

or  b2c22ab2c+b2a24a2bc+4acb2+4a2c24abc2=0or  b2c2+b2a2+4a2c2+2ab2c4a2bc4abc2=0or  (bc+ab2ac)2=0or  bc+ab=2ac

 1a+1c=2b

Hence, a, b, c are in H.P.
