To solve the problem, we need to determine the values of \( x \) for which \( 2\cos x \), \( |\cos x| \), and \( 1 - 3\cos^2 x \) are in geometric progression (G.P.). ### Step 1: Set up the condition for G.P. For three numbers \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) to be in G.P., the condition is: \[ b^2 = ac \] In our case, let: ...
