उत्तर

Let the first term of the geometric progression = a,

Common ratio = r

∴ a4 = ar3 = x   ....(1)

a10 = ar9 = y  ....(2)

a16 = ar15 = z  ....(3)

Dividing (2) by (1), we obtain

`y/x = (ar^9)/(ar^3) = y/x = r^6`

Dividing (3) by (2), we obtain

`z/y = (ar^15)/(ar^3) = z/y = r^6`

∴ `y/x = z/y`

Thus, x, y, z are in G.P.
