Solution

The correct option is C
$H P$

Step1. Sum of infinite terms of Geometric Progression.
Geometric Progression for infinite terms is $= \frac{a}{1 - r}$ Where, $a$ is first term and $r$ is the common ratio.
Given,
$x = 1 + a + a^{2} + \dots \infty x = \frac{1}{(1 - a)}$
$y = 1 + b + b^{2} + \dots \infty y = \frac{1}{(1 - b)}$
$z = 1 + c + c^{2} + \dots \infty z = \frac{1}{(1 - c)}$
Step2. Finding relation between $x, y, z$ ,
Since, $a, b, c$ are in Arithmetic Progression
$1 - a, 1 - b, 1 - c$ are in Arithmetic Progression.
Then, $\frac{1}{1 - a}, \frac{1}{1 - b}, \frac{1}{1 - c}$ are in Harmonic Progression.
So, $x, y, z$ are in Harmonic Progression.
Hence, correct option is $(C)$
