Detailed Solution

The given equation is x39x2+14x+24=0

Let the  required roots are 3α,2α,β         (  ratio of two roots are 3:2)

α=3α+2α+β=(9)1=9

5α+β=9                            …….(i)

   αβ=3α.2α+2α.β+β.3α=14

5αβ+6α2=14                      ……(ii)

and    αβγ=3α.2α.β=24

6a2β=24  or α2β=4       .….(iii)

From Eq. (i), β=95α , put the value of β  in Eq. (ii)

5α(95α)+6α2=14

19α245α+14=0

(α2)(19α7)=0

 α=2  or 719

 from Eq. (i), if α=2 , then β=95×2=1

α=2,β=1  satisfy the equation (iii) so required roots are 6,4,1 .
