The correct answer is: 150

Given that 1x,1y,1z are in AP and x,2y,z are in GP.

As given, 2y=1x+1y .......i
Also, 2y2=xz .......ii

Also given that xy+yz+zx=32xyz
1x+1y+1z=32 .....iii
From (i) and (iii) we get 3y=32

y=2 .....iv

Now from (ii) xz=4  .......v

Now using (ii), (iv) and (v)

x+z=42

Hence 3(x+y+z)2=3(2+42)2

=150

Therefore, this is the required answer.
