If a be the arithmetic mean of b and c and G1,G2 be the two geometric means between them, then G31+G32=
The correct option is B.2abc
Since, a is the arithmetic mean of b and c, therefore,
⇒2a=b+c...(i)
Now, According to the question, the sequence so formed is,
⇒b,G1,G2,c
=b,br,br2,br3 where r is the common ratio
Thus, G1=br,G2=br2 and c=br3
Consider c=br3
⇒r3=cb...(ii)
Now, consider, G31+G32,
=(br)3+(br2)3
=b3r3+b3r6
=b3r3(1+r3)
=b3(cb)(1+cb) [From (ii)]
=b2c(b+cb)
=bc(2a) [From (i)]
=2abc
