Detailed Solution

It is given that logeb1,logeb2,,logeb101 are in A.P. with common difference loge2. Therefore, b1,b2,b3,,b101 are in G.P. with common ratio 2.

Let d be the common difference of the A.P. a1,a2,a2,a101.

Now, a51=b51

 a1+50d=a1250             b1=a1

50d=2501a1                             ..(i)

   a101=a1+100d=a1+22501a1=2511a1

and, b101=b1×2100=a12100

Clearly, b101>a101

Now,

       s=5122a1+50d=51a1+50×51d2 s=51a1+5122501a1                               [Using (i)]

and, t=b1+b2++b51

 t=b1251121=a12511 st=51a2250+1a12511=47×249+532a1>0 s>t

Hence, s>t and a101<b101.

So, option (b) is correct.
