The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to show that if \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{x-1}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{y-1}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{z-1}} > 0 \) and \( x, y, z \) are in geometric progression (G.P.), then \( (\log x^2)^{-1}, (\log xz)^{-1}, (\log z^2)^{-1} \) are in harmonic progression (H.P.). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Condition**: Given that \( x, y, z \) are in G.P., we can express \( y \) in terms of \( x \) and \( z \): \[ y = \sqrt{xz} \] 2. **Using the Logarithmic Identity**: We know that if \( y = \sqrt{xz} \), then: \[ y^2 = xz \] 3. **Taking Logarithms**: Taking logarithms on both sides gives: \[ \log y^2 = \log(xz) \] Using the properties of logarithms, we can rewrite this as: \[ 2 \log y = \log x + \log z \] 4. **Rearranging the Equation**: Rearranging the above equation leads to: \[ 2 \log y = \log x + \log z \] This implies that: \[ 2 \log y = \log x + \log z \implies 2b = a + c \] where \( a = \log x \), \( b = \log y \), and \( c = \log z \). 5. **Identifying Arithmetic Progression**: The equation \( 2b = a + c \) indicates that \( \log x, \log y, \log z \) are in arithmetic progression (A.P.). 6. **Converting to Harmonic Progression**: If \( a, b, c \) are in A.P., then their reciprocals \( \frac{1}{a}, \frac{1}{b}, \frac{1}{c} \) are in harmonic progression (H.P.). Thus: \[ \frac{1}{\log x}, \frac{1}{\log y}, \frac{1}{\log z} \text{ are in H.P.} \] 7. **Expressing in Terms of the Given Expression**: We need to express this in terms of the original question. We have: \[ \frac{1}{\log x^2}, \frac{1}{\log(xz)}, \frac{1}{\log z^2} \] Since \( \log(xz) = \log x + \log z \), we can see that: \[ \frac{1}{\log x^2}, \frac{1}{\log(xz)}, \frac{1}{\log z^2} \text{ are in H.P.} \] ### Conclusion: Thus, we conclude that \( (\log x^2)^{-1}, (\log xz)^{-1}, (\log z^2)^{-1} \) are in harmonic progression.
