    \[{{\log }_{3}}2,\ {{\log }_{6}}2,\ {{\log }_{12}}2\]are in   [RPET 1993, 2001]

    A) A.P.

    B) G.P.

    C) H.P.

    D) None of the above

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    If the numbers are \[\frac{1}{x},\ \frac{1}{y},\ \frac{1}{z}\], then \[x={{\log }_{2}}3,\ y={{\log }_{2}}2\ .\ 3=1+{{\log }_{2}}3\] and\[z=2+{{\log }_{2}}3\]. Therefore \[=\frac{1.({{10}^{91}}-1)}{10-1}=\frac{{{({{10}^{13}})}^{7}}-1}{{{10}^{13}}-1}\times \frac{{{10}^{13}}-1}{10-1}\] are in A.P. Hence\[\frac{1}{x},\ \frac{1}{y},\ \frac{1}{z}\ \ \ i.e.\], the given numbers are in H.P.
