To prove that \((q - r)bc + (r - p)ca + (p - q)ab = 0\) given that the \(p\)th, \(q\)th, and \(r\)th terms of a Harmonic Progression (HP) are \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) respectively, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between HP and AP The terms of a Harmonic Progression can be related to an Arithmetic Progression (AP). If \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) are the \(p\)th, \(q\)th, and \(r\)th terms of a HP, then their reciprocals \(\frac{1}{a}\), \(\frac{1}{b}\), and \(\frac{1}{c}\) are the \(p\)th, \(q\)th, and \(r\)th terms of an AP. ### Step 2: Write the terms of the corresponding AP Let \(A\) be the first term and \(D\) be the common difference of the corresponding AP. We can express the terms as follows: - \(\frac{1}{a} = A + (p-1)D\) (1) ...
