Question
If the three distinct numbers $a, b, c$ are in GP and $a+x, b+x, c+x$ are in $H P$, then the value of $x$ is(a) $c$(b) $\mathrm{b}$(c) a(d) None of these
Step 1
Step 1: Given that the three numbers $a, b, c$ are in geometric progression (GP), we can write this as $b^2 = ac$. Show more…

If three distinct numbers $a, b, c$ are in $H P$ and $a^{2}, b^{2}, c^{2}$ are in AP then (a) $a+c=b$ (b) $a+b+c=0$ (c) $a+b=c$ (d) $b+c=a$
If $a, b, c_{3} d$ are distinct integers in A.P. such that $d=a^{2}$ $+b^{2}+c^{2}$, then $a+b+c+d=$ (A) 2 (B) 1 (C) 0 (D) None of these
If $\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}, \mathrm{c}$ are three distinct numbers in $\mathrm{AP}$ and $\mathrm{b}-\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{c}-\mathrm{b}$, a are in $\mathrm{GP}$, then a: b: $\mathrm{c}=$ (a) $2: 3: 1$ (b) $\frac{1}{2}: \frac{1}{3}: 1$ (c) $1: 2: 3$ (d) $2: 1: 6$
