Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Harmonic progression

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Lines \[ \begin{aligned} & x+2 a y+a=0 \\ & x+3 b y+b=0 \end{aligned} \] and \(x+4 c y+c=0\) are concurrent. If \(\left|\begin{array}{lll}1 & 2 a & a \\ 1 & 3 b & b \\ 1 & 4 c & c\end{array}\right|=0\) Applying \(R_1 \rightarrow R_1-R_2, R_2 \rightarrow R_2-R_3\), we get…
