Let a,b,c be in A.P. and x,y,z be in G.P.. Then the points a,x,b,yand c,z will be collinear if 

a
x2=y
b
x=y=z
c
y2=z
d
x=z2

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Given that a,b,c are in A.P.⇒   a−b=b−cNow, (a,x),(b,y) and c,z are collinear.⇒x−ya−b=y−zb−c⇒x−yy−z=a−bb−c=1⇒x−y=y−zSo, x,y are in A.P. Thus x,y,z are in A.P. and also in G.P,∴x=y=z
