If the first three terms of the sequence $\frac{1}{16}, a, b, \frac{1}{6}$ are in a geometric progression and the last three terms are in a harmonic progression,then the values of $a$ and $b$ are:

  • A
    $a = -\frac{1}{4}, b = 1$
  • B
    $a = \frac{1}{12}, b = \frac{1}{9}$
  • C
    Both $(a)$ and $(b)$ are true
  • D
