We have, r1=4,r2=8 and r3=24∴4=s−aΔ,8=s−bΔ and 24=s−cΔ⇒s−a=4Δ…(i)s−b=8Δ…(ii) And s−c=24Δ…(iii) On adding these three equations, we get 3s−(a+b+c)=4Δ+8Δ+24Δ⇒3s−2s=246Δ+3Δ+Δ=2410Δ⇒s=125Δ From Eq. (i), a=s−4Δ=125Δ−4Δ=122Δ=6Δ From Eq. (ii), b=s−8Δ=125Δ−8Δ=247Δ From Eq. (iii), c=s−24Δ=125Δ−24Δ=249Δ∴a:b:c=6Δ:247Δ:249Δ=4:7:9
