Solution

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
