The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the conditions given for the sequences and derive the relationships between the variables \( a, x, b, y, z \). ### Step 1: Establish Relationships from A.P., G.P., and H.P. 1. **A.P. Condition**: Since \( a, x, b \) are in A.P., we have: \[ 2x = a + b \quad \text{(1)} \] 2. **G.P. Condition**: Since \( a, y, b \) are in G.P., we have: \[ y^2 = ab \quad \text{(2)} \] 3. **H.P. Condition**: Since \( a, z, b \) are in H.P., we have: \[ z = \frac{2ab}{a + b} \quad \text{(3)} \] ### Step 2: Substitute the Given Conditions We are given two additional conditions: - \( x = y + 2 \quad \text{(4)} \) - \( a = 5z \quad \text{(5)} \) ### Step 3: Express \( z \) in terms of \( a \) and \( b \) From equation (3): \[ z = \frac{2ab}{a + b} \] Substituting \( z \) into equation (5): \[ a = 5 \left( \frac{2ab}{a + b} \right) \] This simplifies to: \[ a(a + b) = 10ab \] Rearranging gives: \[ a^2 + ab - 10ab = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad a^2 - 9ab = 0 \] Factoring out \( a \): \[ a(a - 9b) = 0 \] Since \( a \neq 0 \), we have: \[ a = 9b \quad \text{(6)} \] ### Step 4: Substitute \( a \) in Terms of \( b \) into Equation (1) Substituting equation (6) into equation (1): \[ 2x = 9b + b = 10b \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 5b \quad \text{(7)} \] ### Step 5: Substitute \( a \) into Equation (2) Substituting equation (6) into equation (2): \[ y^2 = ab = 9b^2 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = 3b \quad \text{(8)} \] ### Step 6: Substitute \( y \) into Equation (4) Using equation (4): \[ x = y + 2 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 5b = 3b + 2 \] Solving for \( b \): \[ 5b - 3b = 2 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 2b = 2 \quad \Rightarrow \quad b = 1 \] ### Step 7: Find \( a, x, y, z \) Using \( b = 1 \) in equation (6): \[ a = 9b = 9 \cdot 1 = 9 \] Using \( b = 1 \) in equations (7) and (8): \[ x = 5b = 5 \cdot 1 = 5 \] \[ y = 3b = 3 \cdot 1 = 3 \] Now, substitute \( a \) and \( b \) into equation (3) to find \( z \): \[ z = \frac{2ab}{a + b} = \frac{2 \cdot 9 \cdot 1}{9 + 1} = \frac{18}{10} = 1.8 \] ### Summary of Values - \( a = 9 \) - \( b = 1 \) - \( x = 5 \) - \( y = 3 \) - \( z = 1.8 \) ### Final Result The relationships are: \[ x > y > z \quad \Rightarrow \quad 5 > 3 > 1.8 \]

To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the conditions given for the sequences and derive the relationships between the variables \( a, x, b, y, z \). ### Step 1: Establish Relationships from A.P., G.P., and H.P. 1. **A.P. Condition**: Since \( a, x, b \) are in A.P., we have: \[ 2x = a + b \quad \text{(1)} \] ...
