Given n straight line and a fixed point ...

Given n straight line and a fixed point O, a straight line is drawn through O meeting these lines in the points `R_1, R_2, R_3……R_n`. If R is the point on the line such that `n/(OR)=1/(OR_1)+1/(OR_2)+....+1/(OR_n)`, then show that the locus of R is a straight line.
