    If \[\frac{y}{x-z}=\frac{y+x}{z}=\frac{x}{y},\] then find \[x:y:z\]

    A)  1 : 2 : 3

    B)        3 : 2 : 1

    C)        4 : 2 : 3

    D)        2 : 4 : 7

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\frac{y}{x-z}=\frac{y+x}{z}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[yz=xy+{{x}^{2}}-xz-yz\]                   ?(i) Also,     \[\frac{x}{y}=\frac{y}{x-z}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{x}^{2}}-xz={{y}^{2}}\]                           ?(ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[yz=xy-yz+{{y}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[2yz=xy+{{y}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \]      \[yz=x+y\]                                ?(iii) Hence, only option (c) statistics the Eq. (iii).
