If (A - B) A + 2 C 2 A = 1, A, B, C (0, 2 ), then
- A, C, B are in A.P.
- A, C, B are in G.P.
- A, B, C are in G.P.
- A, B, C are in A.P.
Answer
(2) A, C, B are in G.P.
Solution
2 C 2 A = 1 - (A - B) A = A - (A - B) A
A - (A - B) = (A - (A - B)) A (A - B) = B A (A - B)
2 C 2 A = B A (A - B) A A
2 C = A B (A - B)
2 C = 1 - 2 C = (A - B) - A B (A - B) = A B (A - B)
2 C = A B A B = A B
A, C, B are in G.P.
Answer: (2)
