Using Vieta's on first and second equation: c + d = 1 0 a , a + b = 1 0 c
Adding we get:- a + b + c + d = 1 0 ( a + c ) . . ( 1 ) Subtracting we get:- b − d = 1 1 ( c − a ) . . ( 2 )
Since c is a root of first equation: ⟹ c 2 − 1 0 a c − 1 1 b = 0 and since a is a root of second equation: ⟹ a 2 − 1 0 a c − 1 1 d = 0
Subtracting these two we get:- c 2 − a 2 = 1 1 ( b − d ) = 1 2 1 ( c − a ) (Using 2 ) ⟹ c + a = 1 2 1 Substituting in 1 we get:-
a + b + c + d = 1 0 ( 1 2 1 ) = 1 2 1 0
