a,b,c are positive numbers such that they are in increasing Geometric progression then how many such numbers are there in (loga+logb+logc)/6 =log6
Read Solution (Total 4)
-
- a,b,c are in increasing geometric progression so it will follow the b^2=ac
as well as it will be in increasing order.
log(abc)/6 = log6
so abc=6^6;
so possible value of a,b,c will be
1 , 36,36^2
1/6^2,6^2,6^6
......infinite..
there will be another no also but they will not be considered because they are not in increasing order. - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- given that a,b,c are in gp
so b/a=c/b =>b^2=ac
(loga+logb+logc)/6=log6
=>log(abc)=6*log6
=>log(ac*b)=log(6^6)
=>log(b^3)=log(6^6)
=>b^3=6^6=>b^3=(6^2)^3
=>b=6^2=36 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)

log(abc)/6 = log6
so abc=6^6;
so possible value of a,b,c will be
1 , 18, 324
2, 18 , 162
3, 18 , 108
6, 18, 54
9 , 18, 36

=>b=6^2=36
it means a=2,c=18or a=3 c=12 or a=4 c=9 or a=6 c=6.
hence there are four such numbers
