Correct answer: 38
-
Let and it is given that are in A.P.
-
First equation: has roots .
By Vieta,
Therefore, So,
-
Second equation: has roots .
By Vieta,
Therefore, So,
-
Since are in A.P., let their common difference be . Then
Using the sums found above:
Subtracting,
Then from we get
Hence the A.P. is
So,
-
Now use products.
For : But from above, Hence, Therefore,
-
For : But from above, Hence, Therefore,
-
Therefore,
So the required integer is
