Question 95

Find all values of the real parameter $a$ for which the equations $x^{2}-(2 a+1) x+a=0$ and $x^{2}+(a-4) x+a-1=0$ have real roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ and $x_{3}, x_{4}$, respectively, such that
$$
\frac{x_{1}}{x_{3}}+\frac{x_{4}}{x_{2}}=\frac{x_{1} x_{4}\left(x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}+x_{4}\right)}{a}
$$
