Question

If a comma blank b comma and c are in A.P., p comma q and r are in H.P. and a p comma blank b q, and c r are in G.P., then fraction numerator p over denominator r end fraction plus fraction numerator r over denominator p end fraction is equal to

  1. fraction numerator a over denominator c end fraction minus fraction numerator c over denominator a end fraction   
  2. fraction numerator a over denominator c end fraction plus fraction numerator c over denominator a end fraction   
  3. fraction numerator b over denominator q end fraction plus fraction numerator q over denominator b end fraction   
  4. fraction numerator b over denominator q end fraction minus fraction numerator q over denominator b end fraction  

The correct answer is: fraction numerator a over denominator c end fraction plus fraction numerator c over denominator a end fraction


    fraction numerator p over denominator r end fraction plus fraction numerator r over denominator p end fraction equals fraction numerator p to the power of 2 end exponent plus r to the power of 2 end exponent over denominator p r end fraction equals fraction numerator open parentheses p plus r close parentheses to the power of 2 end exponent minus 2 p r over denominator p r end fraction
    equals fraction numerator fraction numerator 4 p to the power of 2 end exponent r to the power of 2 end exponent over denominator q to the power of 2 end exponent end fraction minus 2 p r over denominator p r end fraction blank open square brackets table row cell because p comma blank q comma blank r blank a r e blank i n blank H. P. end cell row cell therefore q equals fraction numerator 2 p r over denominator p plus r end fraction end cell end table close square brackets
    equals fraction numerator 4 p r over denominator q to the power of 2 end exponent end fraction minus 2 equals fraction numerator 4 b to the power of 2 end exponent over denominator a c end fraction minus 2 blank open square brackets because a p comma blank b q comma blank c r blank a r e blank i n blank A. P. blank rightwards double arrow b to the power of 2 end exponent q to the power of 2 end exponent equals a c p r close square brackets
    equals fraction numerator open parentheses a plus c close parentheses to the power of 2 end exponent over denominator a c end fraction minus 2 blank open square brackets a comma blank b comma blank c comma blank a r e blank i n blank A. P. blank rightwards double arrow 2 b equals a plus c close square brackets
    equals fraction numerator a over denominator c end fraction plus fraction numerator c over denominator a end fraction
