Solution

The correct option is A $a b / c^{2}$
x,y,z are the sums of three different infinite G.P.'s

$x = a r / (1 - r)$
$y = b r / (1 - r)$
$z = c r / (1 - r)$
$∴ x y / z^{2} = a b / c^{2}$

then the value of

\frac{p}{a} + \frac{q}{b} + \frac{r}{c} = 1

\frac{a}{p} + \frac{b}{q} + \frac{c}{r} = 0

a, b, c

are all different and the points

(\frac{r^{3}}{r - 1}, \frac{r^{2} - 3}{r - 1})

r = a, b, c

are collinear, then show

3 (a + b + c) = a b + b c + c a - a b c .
