The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to show that if \( a, b, c \) are in Geometric Progression (G.P.), then \( \frac{1}{1+\log a}, \frac{1}{1+\log b}, \frac{1}{1+\log c} \) are in Harmonic Progression (H.P.). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding G.P.**: Since \( a, b, c \) are in G.P., we can express this relationship as: \[ b^2 = ac \] 2. **Taking Logarithms**: Taking the logarithm of both sides gives: \[ \log b^2 = \log(ac) \] This simplifies to: \[ 2 \log b = \log a + \log c \] 3. **Rearranging the Logarithmic Equation**: We can rewrite the equation as: \[ \log a + \log c = 2 \log b \] This indicates that \( \log a, \log b, \log c \) are in Arithmetic Progression (A.P.). 4. **Adding a Constant**: If \( \log a, \log b, \log c \) are in A.P., then adding the same constant (which is 1 in this case) to each term gives: \[ 1 + \log a, 1 + \log b, 1 + \log c \] These terms will still maintain the property of being in A.P. 5. **Reciprocal of A.P.**: The reciprocals of terms in A.P. are in H.P. Therefore, we take the reciprocals: \[ \frac{1}{1 + \log a}, \frac{1}{1 + \log b}, \frac{1}{1 + \log c} \] Since \( 1 + \log a, 1 + \log b, 1 + \log c \) are in A.P., their reciprocals are in H.P. 6. **Conclusion**: Thus, we conclude that: \[ \frac{1}{1 + \log a}, \frac{1}{1 + \log b}, \frac{1}{1 + \log c} \text{ are in H.P.} \] ### Final Answer: The terms \( \frac{1}{1+\log a}, \frac{1}{1+\log b}, \frac{1}{1+\log c} \) are in Harmonic Progression (H.P.).
