To solve the problem, we need to show that if three unequal numbers \( p, q, r \) are in Harmonic Progression (HP) and their squares \( p^2, q^2, r^2 \) are in Arithmetic Progression (AP), then they are in the ratio \( 1 + \sqrt{3} : -2 : 1 - \sqrt{3} \) or \( 1 - \sqrt{3} : -2 : 1 + \sqrt{3} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding HP and AP**: - If \( p, q, r \) are in HP, then the reciprocals \( \frac{1}{p}, \frac{1}{q}, \frac{1}{r} \) are in AP. This means: \[ \frac{2}{q} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{r} ...
