its tricky

OpenStudy (aravindg):

where?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

a, b, and c are in GP so \[b^2=ac\] we have \[ \large{a^{\frac{1}{x}}=b^{\frac{1}{y}}=c^{\frac{1}{z}}}\] We can write this as \[b^2= (a^{\frac{1}{x}})^x\times (c^{\frac{1}{z}})^z \] from the relation given we can write this as \[b^2=(b^{\frac{1}{y}})^x\times(b^{\frac{1}{y}})^z \] so we get \[b^2=b^{\frac{x}{y}+\frac{z}{y}}\] we get now \[2y=x+z\] hence x, y, and z are in AP
