To prove that if \( \frac{1}{a}, \frac{1}{b}, \frac{1}{c} \) are in Arithmetic Progression (A.P.), then \( \frac{b+c}{a}, \frac{c+a}{b}, \frac{a+b}{c} \) are also in A.P., we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Use the definition of A.P. Since \( \frac{1}{a}, \frac{1}{b}, \frac{1}{c} \) are in A.P., we can use the property of A.P. which states that the middle term is the average of the other two terms. Thus, we have: \[ \frac{1}{b} - \frac{1}{a} = \frac{1}{c} - \frac{1}{b} \] ...
