Wrong that is cubic equation
Let a,b,c be three distinct positive numbers which are in G.P.
If logca , logbc , logab are in A.P., then the common difference of the A.P. is....

1actually i think u get confused as i took variable same as a waitt i m editting
1hey richa i think there is some problem in ur solution i think u have taken...
logbr=t....but u have written logar=t.....
plssss just check it out....
1i ve got the answer
bt it s not at all a short approach
let a,b,c be A/r,A,Ar
let logAr=t
i took all log to base b(or u cud say toA)
so wat s given is
2(1+t)=1/(1-t)+(1-t)/1+t
solving it we get
2t2+3t-3=0
2t2=3(1-t)
t2/1-t=3/2
as we ve to find the value of common difference
its = t2/1-t
so here is d ans ne short approach is invited [1]
1yaar abhi tak kissi ne solution nahin diya.....what has happened to u tiitians.......
1yeah it's long....can anyone give a shorter method.....becoz it's a multiple choice ques.....so required shorter method.....
1that was a mistake which i posted earlier
log c / log b - log a / log c= diff..
log c= log a + 2 log r
log b = log a + log r
sub in 1 and reduce it... u hav to get it...but it is long i think so..
1arey yaar ankit....main yeh sab kar chuka hoon....par answer nahin aa raha....it's a finite value....
THE ANSWER IS 3/2
1logca + logab =2 logbc
log a / log c + log b / log a = 2log c / log b
a
b = ar
c = ar2
now proceed
