a,b,c are in AP⇒b=((a+c)/2) (a/(bc)) , (1/c) , (2/b) (a/((((a+c)/2))c)) , (1/c) , (2/((a+c)/2)) ((2a)/(c(a+c))) , (1/c) , (4/(a+c)) (1/c)−((2a)/(c(a+c)))=^(?) (4/(a+c))−(1/c) ((a+c−2a)/(c(a+c)))=^(?) ((4c−a−c)/(c(a+c))) ((c−a)/(c(a+c)))≠((3c−a)/(c(a+c))) (a/(bc)) , (1/c) , (2/b) are not in AP (1/c)/((2a)/(c(a+c)))=^(?) (4/(a+c))/(1/c) (1/c)×((c(a+c))/(2a))=^(?) ((4c)/(a+c)) ((a+c)/(2a))≠((4c)/(a+c)) (a/(bc)) , (1/c) , (2/b) are not in GP ((2a)/(c(a+c))) , (1/c) , (4/(a+c)) 1/c is HM if above are in GP. So, 1/c =^(?) ((2(((2a)/(c(a+c))))((4/(a+c))))/(((2a)/(c(a+c)))+(4/(a+c)))) =^(?) (((16a)/(c(a+c)^2 ))/((2a+4c)/(c(a+c))))=(((8a)/(a+c))/(a+2c))=((8a)/((a+c)(a+2c))) ≠((8a)/((a+c)(a+2c))) Hence (a/(bc)) , (1/c) , (2/b) are not in HP.
