If a ,b ,c are in G.P. and a^(1//x)=b^(1...

If `a ,b ,c` are in G.P. and `a^(1//x)=b^(1//y)=c^(1//z),` then `x y z` are in AP (b) GP (c) HP (d) none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let `a^(1/x) = b^(1/y) = c^(1/z) = p`
`a = p^x`
`b = p^y`
`c = p^z`
`b^2 = ac` (since a,b,c in GP)
`(p^y)^2 = p^xp^z`
`p^(2y) = p^(x+z)`
