Solution
The correct option is Bs>tanda101<b101 As logeb1,logeb2,.....,logeb101 are in A.P. with common difference loge2, Sologebi+1−logebi=loge2,i=1,2,...,100⇒bi+1=2bi ∴b1,b2,...,b101 are in Geometric Progression(G.P.) with common ratio 2.
Also, a1,a51, and a101 are in A.P. ∴2a51=a101+a1⇒a101=2a51−a1 ⇒a101=2x−y and b1,b51, and b101 are in G.P. ∴b101=(b51)2b1=x2y b101−a101=x2y−2x+y=(x−y)2y>0 ∴b101>a101
