Detailed Solution

Given, roots of the given equation are in the ratio 1:2:4
Let's consider 1a, 2a, 4a as roots
Sum of roots
7a = 14k
a = 2k
Product of roots
8a3 = 64k3
a3 = 8k3
(2k)3 = 8k3 … (Substituting a = –2k)
8k3 = 8k3
8k3 + 8k3 = 0
16k3 = 0
k3 = 0
k = 0
a = 2k
a = 2 × 0.
a = 0
The ratio of cubic equation is 1 : 2 : 4
Therefore, option 4 is the correct answer
