Question:

If $a, b, c$ are in G.P. and $a^{\frac{1}{x}} = b^{\frac{1}{y}} = c^{\frac{1}{z}}$, then which one of the following is correct?

Options:

$2x= y + z$

$x^2=yz$

$\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{z}=\frac{2}{y}$

$2y=x+z$

Correct Answer:

$2y=x+z$

Explanation:

Let us consider that ,

$a^{\frac{1}{x}} = b^{\frac{1}{y}} = c^{\frac{1}{z}} = k $

a = kx  ,  b = ky ,  c = kz

As, a , b & c are in G.P.

So, b² = ac

(ky)² = kx × kz

 k2y  =  k(x+z)

So,

2y = x + z

Ans :- (D)  2y = x + z
