Question
If a, b, c are positive numbers in G.P. and log
, log
and log
are in A.P., then a, b, c forms the sides of a triangle which is -
Options
A.equilateral
B.right angled
C.isosceles
D.none of these
Solution
We have b2 = ac .........(i)
and 2log
= log
+ log 
=
⇒ 3 log
= ⇒ b =
c ........(ii)
From (i) & (ii), we have a =
Now, We have b + c =
= a
Hence a, b, c cannot form the sides of a triangle.
and 2log
=
⇒ 3 log
From (i) & (ii), we have a =
Now, We have b + c =
Hence a, b, c cannot form the sides of a triangle.
