Q. If $x > 1, y > 1, z > 1$ are in $G.P.$ then $\frac{1}{1+log\,x}, \frac{1}{1+log\,y}, \frac{1}{1+log\,z}$ are in :

Sequences and Series

Solution:

$x, y, z$ are in GP
$ \Rightarrow y ^{2}= xz $
Taking log on both sides
$ \begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow 2 \ln y=\ln x+\ln z \\ \Rightarrow 2(1+\ln y)=(1+\ln x)+(1+\ln z) \end{array} $
i.e $1+\ln x , 1+\ln y , 1+\ln z$ are in $AP$
$\therefore \frac{1}{1+\ln x}, \frac{1}{1+\ln y}, \frac{1}{1+\ln z}$ are in HP.
