If three numbers be in $G.P.$, then their logarithms will be in

A

$A.P.$

B

$G.P.$

C

$H.P.$

D

None of these

Solution

(a) 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 $A.P.$
