If and are both in G.P. with the same common ratio, then the points , and :

  1. A
    lie on a straight line
  2. B
    lie on an ellipse
  3. C
    lie on a circle
  4. D
    are vertices of a triangle

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let the common ratio be . Calculate the slope of the line segment joining and :

Calculate the slope of the line segment joining and :

Since the slopes are equal, the points are collinear and lie on a straight line.
