Answer:

  • D) None of the above

------------------------------------

Let the numbers be:

  • 1, x, y, z, 81

Geometric means give us:

  • y² = 1*81 ⇒ y = 9

Then:

  • y² = xz ⇒ xz = 81

Given options give us:

  • A) 3*21 = 63 ≠ 81;
  • B) 3*18 = 54 ≠ 81;
  • C) Same as option A (must be a typo);

Since all the above options are false, the answer is option D.
