Solution

The correct option is C

HP


Step1. Sum of infinite terms of Geometric Progression.

Geometric Progression for infinite terms is =a1-r Where, a is first term and r is the common ratio.

Given,

x=1+a+a2+x=1(1-a)

y=1+b+b2+y=1(1-b)

z=1+c+c2+z=1(1-c)

Step2. Finding relation between x,y,z,

Since, a,b,care in Arithmetic Progression

1-a,1-b,1-care in Arithmetic Progression.

Then, 11-a,11-b,11-c are in Harmonic Progression.

So, x,y,z are in Harmonic Progression.

Hence, correct option is (C)
