Solution

The correct option is A μ, λ2, v are in A.P.
We have,
r=3^i+2^j5^k(i)
and r=λa+μb+vc
r=λ(2^i^j+^k)+μ(^i+3^j2^k)+v(2^i+^j3^k)
r=^i(2λ+μ2v)+^j(λ+3μ+v)+^k(λ2μ3v)(ii)
Comparing like vectors, we get
2λ+μ2v=3(iii)
λ+3μ+v=2(iv)
λ2μ3v=5(v)
Solving these above equations, we get
μ=1, v=2, λ=3
Hence, μ, λ2, v are in A.P.
