If mth term of an AP is 1/n and its nth term is 1/m , then show that its (mn)th term is 1

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to show that if the mth term of an arithmetic progression (AP) is \( \frac{1}{n} \) and the nth term is \( \frac{1}{m} \), then the mnth term is 1. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the terms of the AP:** Let \( A \) be the first term of the AP and \( D \) be the common difference. The mth term of the AP can be expressed as: \[ a_m = A + (m-1)D ...
