If `a,b,c` are in AP and p is the AM between a and b and q is the AM between b and c, then show that b is the AM between p and q. |

Answer» `therefore a,b,c` are inAP. `therefore " " 2b=a+c " " "…….(i)"` `therefore` p is the AM between a and b. `therefore " " p=(a+b)/(2) " " "……..(ii)"` `therefore` q is the AM between b and c. `therefore " " q=(b+c)/(2) " " "......(iii)"` On adding Eqs. (ii) and (iii), than `p+q=(a+b)/(2)+(b+c)/(2)=(a+c+2b)/(2)=(2b+2b)/(2) [" using Eq. (i)"]` `therefore p+q=2b " or " b=(p+q)/(2)` Hence, b is the AM between p and q. |
