The correct answer is: 1, 3

Given that, A=90°.

Circumradius R=a2sinA=a2sin90°=a2.

Inradius r=s-atanA2=s-atan90°2=s-a.

Exradius r1=stanA2=stan90°2=s

R:r:r1=a2:s-a:s=2:5:λ

a2=2a=4

s-a=5s-4=5s=9

 λ=9

Now, the equation is x2-9-5x+9-6=0.

x2-4x+3=0

(x-1)(x-3)=0

x=1 or x=3

The roots are 1, 3.
