Given: If a, b, c are in G.P. and a1/x = b1/y = c1/z, prove that x, y, z 

Verified Answer

Let a1/x = b1/y = c1/z = k.

Then, a = kx, b = ky, and c = kz.     ...(1)

Since a, b, c are in G.P., therefore b² = a·c.     ...(2)

Using (1) in (2), we get:

k2y = kx+z

⇒ 2y = x + z

Hence, x, y, z are in A.P.
