Quadratic cum Logarithm

If ax2-bx+c = 0 has two distinct roots lying in the interval (a,b,c) ε N , then

1. log5abc = 1
2. log6abc = 2
3. log5abc = 3
4. log6abc = 4

Find number of ordered triplets (p,q,r) where 1≤p,q,r ≤10 such that 2p+3q+5r is a multiple of 4 is (p,q,r ε N)

for f(x) = ax2 + bx + c

Let a>0 D>0....
Clearly from graph f(k1) > 0 and f(k2) > 0
Then for (Alpha) , (beta) to lie b/w k1 and k2

a(f(k1) >0
a(f(k2) >0
k1 < -(b/2a) < k2
D > 0

or

a(f(0) >0
a(f(1) >0
0 < -(b/2a) < 1
D > 0

for f(x) = ax2 - bx + c

ac >0
a(a-b+c) >0
0 < (b/2a) < 1
D > 0

or

ac >0
a(a-b+c) >0
0 < b < 2a
b2 - 4ac > 0

or
ac >0
a(a-b+c) >0
0 < b < 2a
b2 > 4ac

also we have

a ≥ 1
b ≥ 1
c ≥ 1.....as (a,b,c) belongs to N

after this i am stuck...how to find abc = ??

Please point out my mistakes if any....

2) 2^p is always a multiple of 4,if p is greater than or equal to 2

now 3^q + 5^r = (4-1)^q + (4+1)^r= 4k + (-1)^q + (1)^r

if q is odd and r is anything 3^q + 5^r = 4k, so 2^p+ 3^q + 5^r is a multiple of 4,where p≥2

if q is even and r is anything then 3^q + 5^r = 4k + 2, so 2^p+ 3^q + 5^r is a multiple of 4 if and only if p=1

now u can finish it offfff
