Solution

Let A be the first term and R be the common ratio of the G.P. then,
l=ARp1log l=log A+(p1)log R.......(i)
m=ARq1log m=log A+(q1)log R ......(ii)
n=ARr1log n=log A+(r1)log R ......(iii)
Multiplying (i), (ii) and (iii) by
(q - r),(r-p) and (p-q) respectively and adding we get, log l(q - r) + log m(r - p) + log n (p - q) = 0
Δ=0.
