The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow the steps outlined in the video transcript, ensuring that we derive the necessary relationships and conditions from the given information. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Information**: We are given that \( \log_{x} y, \log_{z} x, \log_{y} z \) are in geometric progression (GP). Additionally, we know that \( xyz = 64 \) and \( x^3, y^3, z^3 \) are in arithmetic progression (AP). 2. **Using the GP Condition**: For three terms \( a, b, c \) to be in GP, the relationship \( b^2 = ac \) must hold. Here, we can let: - \( a = \log_{x} y \) - \( b = \log_{z} x \) - \( c = \log_{y} z \) Therefore, we can write: \[ (\log_{z} x)^2 = \log_{x} y \cdot \log_{y} z \] 3. **Applying Logarithmic Properties**: Using the change of base formula, we can express the logarithms in terms of natural logarithms: \[ \log_{x} y = \frac{\log y}{\log x}, \quad \log_{z} x = \frac{\log x}{\log z}, \quad \log_{y} z = \frac{\log z}{\log y} \] Substituting these into our GP condition gives: \[ \left(\frac{\log x}{\log z}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{\log y}{\log x}\right) \left(\frac{\log z}{\log y}\right) \] Simplifying the right side: \[ \left(\frac{\log x}{\log z}\right)^2 = \frac{\log z}{\log x} \] Cross-multiplying yields: \[ (\log x)^3 = (\log z)^2 \] 4. **Using the Product Condition**: We know \( xyz = 64 \). Taking logarithms gives: \[ \log(xyz) = \log 64 \implies \log x + \log y + \log z = 6 \log 2 \] 5. **Using the AP Condition**: Since \( x^3, y^3, z^3 \) are in AP, we have: \[ 2y^3 = x^3 + z^3 \] Using the identity for cubes: \[ 2y^3 = (x + z)(x^2 - xz + z^2) \] 6. **Substituting Relationships**: From the GP condition, we found \( x = z \). Let \( x = z = k \). Then: \[ k^2y = 64 \implies y = \frac{64}{k^2} \] Substituting into the AP condition: \[ 2\left(\frac{64}{k^2}\right)^3 = k^3 + k^3 \implies 2\left(\frac{64^3}{k^6}\right) = 2k^3 \] Simplifying gives: \[ \frac{64^3}{k^6} = k^3 \implies 64^3 = k^9 \implies k = 4 \] 7. **Finding Values of x, y, z**: Since \( k = 4 \): \[ x = 4, \quad y = \frac{64}{4^2} = 4, \quad z = 4 \] 8. **Conclusion**: Thus, \( x = y = z = 4 \). Since all three values are equal, they are in both arithmetic progression (AP) and geometric progression (GP). ### Final Answer: The correct option is that \( x, y, z \) are in both AP and GP.
