To prove that \( x, y, z \) are in Harmonic Progression (H.P.) given that \( \frac{a-x}{px} = \frac{a-y}{qy} = \frac{a-z}{rz} \) and \( p, q, r \) are in Arithmetic Progression (A.P.), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Set the common ratio Let us denote the common value of the ratios as \( \lambda \). Therefore, we can write: \[ \frac{a-x}{px} = \frac{a-y}{qy} = \frac{a-z}{rz} = \lambda \] ...
