Solution
Let α, β be the roots of
lx2 + nx + n = 0, α + β = `n/l` and αβ = `n/l`.
`α/beta = p/q ...("given")`
Now L.H.S.
= `sqrt(p/q) + sqrt(q/p) + sqrt(n/l)`
= `sqrt(α/beta) + sqrt(beta/α) + sqrt(n/l)`
= `(α + beta)/sqrt(αbeta) + sqrt(n/l)`
= `((-n)/l)/sqrt(n/l) + sqrt(n/l,) [ ∵ α + beta = (-n)/l αbeta = n/l]`
= `-sqrt(n/l) + sqrt(n/l)`
= 0
= R.H.S.
Hence proved.
