Question

If `a^x = b^y = c^z and  b^2 = ac `, then  y equal  :


Options:
A .  `(xz)/(x + z)`
B .  `(xz)/(2(x - z))`
C .  `(xz)/(2(z - x))`
D .  `(2xz)/(x + z)`
Answer: Option D

`a^x = b^y = c^z   = k`. Then`, a = k^(1/x) , b = k^(1/y) and c =  k^(1/z)`.

`:.`    `b^2 =  ac   hArr   (k^(1/y))^2 =  k^(1/x) xx k^(1/z)        hArr   k^(2/y) =   k  ^(1/x + 1/z)`

`:.`      `2/y = ((x + z))/(xz)   hArr     y/2     =  (xz)/((x + z))     hArr   y =   (2xz)/((x + z))`
