To solve the problem, we need to show that if the Pth, Qth, Rth, and Sth terms of an arithmetic progression (AP) are in geometric progression (GP), then the differences (p - q), (q - r), and (r - s) are also in GP. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Define the AP Terms**: Let the first term of the AP be \( A \) and the common difference be \( D \). Therefore, the Pth, Qth, Rth, and Sth terms of the AP can be expressed as: - \( A_P = A + (P - 1)D \) - \( A_Q = A + (Q - 1)D \) ...
