If first and `(2n-1)^(th)` terms of A.P., G.P. and H.P. are equal and their nth terms are a,b,c respectively, thenA. `a=b=c`B. `a+c=b`C. `agt bgt c`D. `ac-b^2=0` |

Answer» Correct Answer - C::D Cosider the A.P since a is equidistant from the first term `alpha` and the last term `beta` of the A.P., therefore `alpha, a beta` are in A.P. Hence a is the A.M. of `alpha` and `beta`. So, `a = (alpha + beta)/(2)` Similarly, b and c are the geometric and hormoic means, i.e., `b = sqrt(alpha beta)` and `c = (2 alpha beta)/(alpha + beta)` Since A.M., G.M., and H.M. are in G.P and A.M `ge` G.M `ge` H.M., therefore a,b,c, are in G.P and `a ge b ge c` |
