    If three numbers be in G.P., then their logarithms will be in [BIT 1992]

    A) A.P.

    B) G.P.

    C) H.P.

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let three number \[a,\ b\] and \[c\] in G.P., then \[{{b}^{2}}=ac\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[2{{\log }_{e}}b={{\log }_{e}}a+{{\log }_{e}}c\]or \[{{\log }_{e}}b=\frac{{{\log }_{e}}a+{{\log }_{e}}c}{2}\] Thus their logarithms are in A.P.
