Solution

The correct option is B

a,b,c,d are in G.P


Explanation for the correct answer:

Given,

a2+b2+c2p2-2ab+bc+cdp+b2+c2+d2=0a2p2+b2p2+c2p2-2pab-2pbc-2pcd+b2+c2+d2=0a2p2-2pab+b2+b2p2-2pbc+c2+c2p2-2pcd+d2=0a-b2=a2-2ab-b2ap-b2+bp-c2+cp-d2=0i

a,b,c,d and p be any non zero distinct real numbers

Therefore, from equation i, we get

ap=bbp=ccp=dba=cb=dc=p

Geometric Progression (G.P) is a type of sequence where each succeeding term is obtained by multiplying the common ratio by the preceding term.

Therefore, a,b,c,d are in G.P.

Hence, option (B) is the correct answer.
