The key is if you find that b and c are same, then a(b-c) will be 0.
A. b-c = c-b
Nothing but b=c. We don't bother about a and we don't bother whether a,b, and c are integers or fractions.
If b-c = 0 or b=c, then a(b-c) is 0.
Sufficient.
B. b/c = c/b
Again, b=c. a(b-c) is 0. Sufficient.

here q is either a=0 or b-c=0---->b=cbhumika.k.shah wrote:other ways in which i can solve this problem?
any of the two will do
s1)b-c=c-b--->2b=2c--->b=c......suff
s2)b^2=c^2----->since bth are +ve there fore b=c suff
