    If \[{{x}^{a}}={{y}^{b}}={{z}^{c}}\] and \[{{y}^{2}}=zx,\] then the value of \[\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{c}\] is

    A)  \[\frac{b}{2}\]       

    B)  \[\frac{c}{2}\]      

    C)  \[\frac{2}{b}\]        

    D)  2a

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    If \[{{x}^{a}}={{y}^{b}}={{z}^{c}}\] and \[{{y}^{2}}=zx\] Let        \[{{x}^{a}}={{y}^{b}}={{z}^{c}}=k\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x={{k}^{1/b}},\,\,y={{k}^{1/b}},\,\,z={{k}^{1/c}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{y}^{2}}=zx\] \[\therefore \] \[{{({{k}^{1/b}})}^{2}}=({{k}^{1/c}})\cdot ({{k}^{1/a}})\]   \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{(k)}^{2/b}}={{(k)}^{1/c+1/a}}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{c}=\frac{2}{b}\]
