If a, b, c are in AP ; then 2ax + 1, 2bx + 1, 2cx + 1, x ¹ 0 are in –

A

AP

B

GP only when x > 0

C

GP only when x < 0

D

GP for all x

Answer

GP for all x

Explanation

Solution

= 2(b–a)x ; T3 T2\frac { \mathrm { T } _ { 3 } } { \mathrm {~T} _ { 2 } } = 2(c–b)x

Now 2(b–a)x = 2(c–b)x

̃ 2(2b–a–c)x = 1

clearly x Î R
