1 1 vote Given : $x^{a}=y^{b}=z^{c},y^2=zx$ Let $x^{a} = y^{b} = z^{c}= k$ $\Rightarrow x=k^{\frac{1}{a}}$ $\Rightarrow y=k^{\frac{1}{b}}$ $\Rightarrow z=k^{\frac{1}{c}}$ $\because y^{2}=zx$ $\therefore (k^{\frac{1}{b}})^2$ $=$ $(k^{\frac{1}{c}})*$ $(k^{\frac{1}{b}})$ $\therefore \frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}=\frac{2}{b}$ Option $(C)$ is correct.
