detailed solution

Correct option is A

we have.k+1k+k+2k+1=ba..................(i)
and k+1kk+2k+1=ca……………………….(ii)
From Eq. (i), 
1+1k+1+1k+1=ba
 2+1k+1k+1=ba…………………..(iii)
From Eq. (ii),
k+2k=ca1+2k=ca 2k=ca1k=2aca
Now, on substituting the value of kin Eq. (iii), we get
2+ca2a+12aca+1=ba

 2+ca2a+caa+c=ba
 2(2a)(a+c)+(ca)(c+a)+2a(ca)2a(a+c)=ba a2+c2+6ac=2ab2bc a2+b2+c2+2ab+2bc+2ca=b24ac (a+b+c)2=b24ac
