Detailed Solution

loga,logb,logc  are in A.P

2logb=loga+logclogb2=log(ac)

b2=aca,b,careinG.P.

logalog2b,log2blog3c,log3clogaareinA.P

2(log2blog3c)=(logalog2b)+(log3cloga)

3log2b=3log3c2b=3c

Now,b2=acb2=a.2b3b=2a3,c=4a9

i.e.  a= a. b=2a3,c=4a9a:b:c=1:23:49=9:6:4

since, sum of any two is greater than the 3rd,a,b,c, form a triangle.
