Sequence And Series Question 185

Question: If $ a,\ b,\ c $ be in A.P. and $ b,\ c,\ d $ be in H.P., then

Options:

A) $ ab=cd $

B) $ ad=bc $

C) $ ac=bd $

D) $ abcd=1 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Given that $ a,\ b,\ c $ in A.P. and $ b,\ c,\ d $ in H.P. So, $ 2b=a+c $ and $ c=\frac{2bd}{b+d} $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ c(b+d)=2bd=(a+c)d $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ bc=ad $ .
