Correct answer: D

  1. Given information

    • mmm is the arithmetic mean of lll and nnn, so m=l+n2.m=\frac{l+n}{2}.m=2l+n​.
    • G1,G2,G3G_1,G_2,G_3G1​,G2​,G3​ are three geometric means between lll and nnn.

    Therefore, l,G1,G2,G3,nl,G_1,G_2,G_3,nl,G1​,G2​,G3​,n are in a geometric progression.

  2. Write the GP terms

    Let the common ratio be rrr. Then G1=lr,G2=lr2,G3=lr3,n=lr4.G_1=lr,\quad G_2=lr^2,\quad G_3=lr^3,\quad n=lr^4.G1​=lr,G2​=lr2,G3​=lr3,n=lr4.

    Hence, r4=nl.r^4=\frac{n}{l}.r4=ln​.

  3. Compute the required expression

    We need G14+2G24+G34.G_1^4+2G_2^4+G_3^4.G14​+2G24​+G34​.

    Using the GP expressions: G14=(lr)4=l4r4,G_1^4=(lr)^4=l^4r^4,G14​=(lr)4=l4r4, G24=(lr2)4=l4r8,G_2^4=(lr^2)^4=l^4r^8,G24​=(lr2)4=l4r8, G34=(lr3)4=l4r12.G_3^4=(lr^3)^4=l^4r^{12}.G34​=(lr3)4=l4r12.

    So, G14+2G24+G34=l4r4+2l4r8+l4r12.G_1^4+2G_2^4+G_3^4=l^4r^4+2l^4r^8+l^4r^{12}.G14​+2G24​+G34​=l4r4+2l4r8+l4r12.

    Factor: =l4r4(1+2r4+r8)=l4r4(1+r4)2.=l^4r^4(1+2r^4+r^8)=l^4r^4(1+r^4)^2.=l4r4(1+2r4+r8)=l4r4(1+r4)2.

  4. Substitute r4=nlr^4=\frac{n}{l}r4=ln​

    l4r4(1+r4)2=l4⋅nl(1+nl)2.l^4r^4(1+r^4)^2=l^4\cdot \frac{n}{l}\left(1+\frac{n}{l}\right)^2.l4r4(1+r4)2=l4⋅ln​(1+ln​)2.

    Simplify: =l3n(l+nl)2=l^3n\left(\frac{l+n}{l}\right)^2=l3n(ll+n​)2 =l3n⋅(l+n)2l2=l^3n\cdot \frac{(l+n)^2}{l^2}=l3n⋅l2(l+n)2​ =ln(l+n)2.=ln(l+n)^2.=ln(l+n)2.

  5. Use the arithmetic mean relation

    Since m=l+n2,m=\frac{l+n}{2},m=2l+n​, we have l+n=2m.l+n=2m.l+n=2m.

    Therefore, ln(l+n)2=ln(2m)2=4lm2n.ln(l+n)^2=ln(2m)^2=4lm^2n.ln(l+n)2=ln(2m)2=4lm2n.

  6. Match with options

    G14+2G24+G34=4lm2n.G_1^4+2G_2^4+G_3^4=4lm^2n.G14​+2G24​+G34​=4lm2n.

    This is Option D.


Final Answer: 4lm2n\boxed{4lm^2n}4lm2n​
