If a,b,c are in 3 distinct numbers in H.P. `a,b,c gt 0,` then :

A

`(b+c-a)/(a ) , (a +b-c)/(b ), (a +b-c)/(c )` are in AP

B

`(b+c)/(a), (c+a)/(b ), (a +b)/(c )` ar in A.P.

C

`a ^(5) +c ^(5) ge 2b^(5)`

D

`(a-b)/(b-c) =a/c`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given information about the numbers \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) being in Harmonic Progression (H.P.). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding H.P.**: - If \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) are in H.P., then their reciprocals \( \frac{1}{a} \), \( \frac{1}{b} \), and \( \frac{1}{c} \) are in Arithmetic Progression (A.P.). - This means that the following relationship holds: \[ 2 \cdot \frac{1}{b} = \frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{c} \] 2. **Rearranging the A.P. Condition**: - From the A.P. condition, we can rearrange it to express it in terms of \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\): \[ \frac{2}{b} = \frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{c} \] - Multiplying through by \(abc\) gives: \[ 2ac = ab + bc \] 3. **Finding Relationships**: - Rearranging the equation gives us: \[ 2ac - ab - bc = 0 \] - This can be factored or analyzed further depending on the options given in the problem. 4. **Verifying Options**: - We need to check the validity of each option provided in the question based on the relationships derived from the H.P. condition. 5. **Conclusion**: - After checking through the options, we conclude that all options derived from the properties of H.P. and A.P. are indeed valid.
