If a, b and c are in arithmetic progression, then the roots of the equation ax - 2bx + c = 0 are
Let the coefficients of powers of x in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th terms in the expansion of (1 + x)n, where n is a positive integer, be in arithmetic progression. Then, the sum of the coefficients of odd powers of x in the expansion is

Let a be the first term and r be the common ratio of a GP.
Pth, Qth and Rth terms of a GP are respectively arP - 1, arQ - 1 and arR - 1.
According to question,
arP - 1 = 64 ...(i)
arQ - 1 = 27 ...(ii)
arR - 1 = 36 ...(iii)
Dividing Eq. (i) by Eq. (ii), we get
rP - Q = ...(iv)
r3Q - 3R = ...(v)
Multiplying Eq. (iv) and Eq. (v), we get
Let a, b, c, p, q and r be positive real numbers such that a, band c are in GP and ap = bq = cr . Then,

p, q, r are in AP
p, q, r are in HP
p2, q2, r2 are in AP
