Answer:

Therefore either a:b = 5:4 or a:b=-5:4

Step-by-step explanation:

ax²-5bx+4a=0

Since the quadratic equation has two real root.

Then b²-4ac>0

Here a= a , b= -5b and c=4a

∴(-5b)²-4.a.4a=0

⇔25b²=16a²

⇔5b=±4a

[tex]\Leftrightarrow \frac{a}{b} =\pm\frac{5}{4}[/tex]

Therefore either a:b = 5:4 or a:b=-5:4
