If and are both in G.P. with the same common ratio, then the points , and
Lie on a straight line
Explanation for the correct answer:
Geometric Progression:
Let be the common ratio of both the geometric progressions
Consider the terms
As these terms are in geometric progression they can be written as
Consider the terms
As these terms are in geometric progression they can be written as
Let , ,
The slope of the line can be written as
slope of
The slope of the line can be written as
slope of
Hence, the slope of line slope of line
Therefore, points are collinear.
Hence, option (A) is the correct answer.
