Question
$a, b, c$ are three distinct real numbers, which are in G.P. and $a+b+c=x b$. Then,(A) $x<-1$ or $x>3$(B) $-1<x<3$(C) $-1<x<2$(D) $0<x<1$
Step 1
Step 1: Given that $a, b, c$ are in geometric progression, we can write $b = ar$ and $c = ar^2$ where $r$ is the common ratio. Show more…

$a, b, c$ are three distinct real numbers, which are in G.P. and $a+b+c=x b$. Then (A) $x<-1$ or $x>3$ (B) $-1<x<3$ (C) $-1<x<2$ (D) $0<x<1$
If $a, b, c$ are three distinct real numbers in G.P. and $a+b+c=x b$, then prove that either $x<-1$ or $x>3$.
Let $a, b, c$ be distinct real numbers which are in G.P. If $x \in \mathbf{R}$ is such that $a+x, b+x, c+x$ are in H.P.s then $x$ equals (a) $a$ (b) $b$ (c) $c$ (d) $(a+b+c) / 3$
