xy,yz and zx are

Options

A. in AP only
B. in GP only
C. in both AP and GP
D. neither in AP nor in GP

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given conditions step by step.

### Given:
1. \( \log_x y, \log_z x, \log_y z \) are in GP (Geometric Progression).
2. \( xyz = 64 \)
3. \( x^3, y^3, z^3 \) are in A.P (Arithmetic Progression).

### Step 1: Understanding the GP condition
Since \( \log_x y, \log_z x, \log_y z \) are in GP, we can denote:
- \( a = \log_x y \)
- \( b = \log_z x \)
- \( c = \log_y z \)

The condition for these to be in GP is:
\[ b^2 = ac \]
Substituting the logarithmic identities:
\[ \log_z x = \frac{\log x}{\log z}, \quad \log_y z = \frac{\log z}{\log y}, \quad \log_x y = \frac{\log y}{\log x} \]
Thus, we have:
\[ \left(\frac{\log x}{\log z}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{\log y}{\log x}\right) \left(\frac{\log z}{\log y}\right) \]

### Step 2: Simplifying the equation
This simplifies to:
\[ \frac{(\log x)^2}{(\log z)^2} = \frac{\log y}{\log x} \cdot \frac{\log z}{\log y} \]
Cross-multiplying gives:
\[ (\log x)^2 \cdot \log y = (\log z)^2 \]

### Step 3: Using the A.P condition
Since \( x^3, y^3, z^3 \) are in A.P, we have:
\[ 2y^3 = x^3 + z^3 \]
This can be rewritten as:
\[ y^3 = \frac{x^3 + z^3}{2} \]

### Step 4: Expressing \( x, y, z \) in terms of a common variable
Let \( x = a, y = b, z = c \). Then from \( xyz = 64 \):
\[ abc = 64 \]

### Step 5: Finding the relationships
From the A.P condition:
\[ 2b^3 = a^3 + c^3 \]
Using the identity \( a^3 + c^3 = (a+c)(a^2 - ac + c^2) \):
\[ 2b^3 = (a+c)(a^2 - ac + c^2) \]

### Step 6: Analyzing the options
We need to analyze the products \( xy, yz, zx \):
- \( xy = ab \)
- \( yz = bc \)
- \( zx = ac \)

To determine if \( xy, yz, zx \) are in GP, we need to check:
\[ (yz)^2 = xy \cdot zx \]
This translates to:
\[ (bc)^2 = (ab)(ac) \]
Simplifying gives:
\[ b^2c^2 = a^2bc \]
Dividing both sides by \( bc \) (assuming \( b, c \neq 0 \)):
\[ bc = a^2 \]

### Conclusion
Thus, we can conclude that the relationships hold true, and we can check through the values of \( x, y, z \) to confirm the conditions of GP and A.P.

### Final Answer:
The correct answer is that \( xy, yz, zx \) are in GP.
