A) Harmonic progression
B) Arithmetic progression
C) Geometric progression
D) None of these
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
[a] If a, b, c are in G.P. then, |
\[{{b}^{2}}=ac\Rightarrow b={{(ac)}^{1/2}}\] |
Taking \[{{\log }_{n}}\] on both the sides of eq. (1). |
\[{{\log }_{n}}b=\frac{1}{2}\left[ ({{\log }_{n}}(ac) \right]=\frac{{{\log }_{n}}a+{{\log }_{n}}c}{2}\] |
or, \[\frac{{{\log }_{n}}a+{{\log }_{n}}c}{2}={{\log }_{n}}b\] |
so, \[{{\log }_{n}}a,{{\log }_{n}}b\] and \[{{\log }_{n}}c\] are in AP. |
Hence, \[\frac{1}{{{\log }_{n}}a},\frac{1}{{{\log }_{n}}b},\frac{1}{{{\log }_{n}}c}\] are in H.P. |
\[{{\log }_{a}}n=\frac{1}{{{\log }_{n}}a}\] |
\[{{\log }_{b}}n=\frac{1}{{{\log }_{n}}b}\] |
\[{{\log }_{c}}n=\frac{1}{{{\log }_{n}}c}\] |
i.e., \[{{\log }_{a}}n,{{\log }_{b}}n,\] and \[{{\log }_{c}}n\] are in H.P. |
