8. Sequences and Series
normal
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 $A.P.$
