Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Given, a, b, c are in GP.

 b2=ac

and 2log2b-log3c=loga-log2b+log3c-loga

b2=ac and 2b=3c

 a+b=5a3>c, b+c=10a9>a

and c+a=13a9>b

 a, b, c are the sides of a triangle.

Also, a is the greatest side

 cosA=b2+c2-a22bc=-2948<0

 ABC is an obtuse angled triangle.

Hence, option (d) is correct.
