, where a, b, c are in A.P. and |a| < 1, |b| < 1, |c| < 1, abc 0, then :
- Ax, y, z are in A.P.
- Bx, y, z are in G.P.
- C, , are in A.P.
- D++= 1 (a + b + c)

Correct answer: C
- Evaluate the infinite sums
Given with , each is a convergent geometric series.
So,
Hence,
- Use the condition that are in A.P.
Since are in arithmetic progression,
Now consider
Check whether these are in A.P.: and
But , so
Therefore, are in A.P.
So Option C is correct.
- Check the other options
Option A: are in A.P.
This would require i.e. This is not true in general.
Counterexample: take (which are in A.P.). Then Numerically, Then not equal.
So A is false.
Option B: are in G.P.
This would require i.e. Equivalently, which is not generally true.
Using the same example , while Not equal.
So B is false.
Option D:
But This is not equal to .
So D is false.
- Conclusion
The only correct option is
