The quadratic polynomial ax2+bx+c has positive coefficients a,b,c in A.P. in the given order. If it has integer roots α,β, find α+β+αβ.
I tried with Vieta's theorem and putting b=a+c2 to get α+β+αβ=ba−1=c−a2a but couldn't arrive at a solution.
P.S. The question had the following options given of which one and only one is the correct answer (if they are of any help)-3,5,7,14.
