If $\alpha ,\;\beta ,\;\gamma $ are the geometric means between $ca,\;ab;\;ab,\;bc;\;bc,\;ca$ respectively where $a,\;b,\;c$ are in A.P., then ${\alpha ^2},\;{\beta ^2},\;{\gamma ^2}$ are in

A

$A.P.$

B

$H.P.$

C

$G.P.$

D

None of the above

Solution

(a) By hypothesis, ${\alpha ^2} = {a^2}bc,\;{\beta ^2} = {b^2}ca,\;{\gamma ^2} = {c^2}ab$ and $2b = a + c$.

.Hence ${2^{n – 1}} > 100$ are in A.P.
