The correct Answer is:
To insert 4 Harmonic Means (H.M.) between \( \frac{3}{4} \) and \( \frac{3}{19} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Harmonic Means**: The Harmonic Mean (H.M.) of two numbers \( a \) and \( b \) is given by the formula: \[ H.M. = \frac{2ab}{a + b} \] However, in this case, we will use the property that the harmonic means can be found by taking the reciprocals of the numbers and forming an Arithmetic Progression (A.P.). 2. **Setting up the Inverses**: Let the H.M.s be \( H_1, H_2, H_3, H_4 \). The corresponding inverses will be: \[ \frac{4}{3}, \frac{1}{H_1}, \frac{1}{H_2}, \frac{1}{H_3}, \frac{1}{H_4}, \frac{19}{3} \] These values will be in A.P. 3. **Identifying the First and Last Terms**: The first term \( a = \frac{4}{3} \) and the last term \( l = \frac{19}{3} \). 4. **Finding the Common Difference**: Since there are 6 terms in total (including the first and last), we can express the last term in terms of the first term and the common difference \( d \): \[ \frac{19}{3} = \frac{4}{3} + 5d \] Rearranging gives: \[ 5d = \frac{19}{3} - \frac{4}{3} = \frac{15}{3} = 5 \] Thus, we find: \[ d = 1 \] 5. **Finding Each H.M.**: - For \( H_1 \): \[ \frac{1}{H_1} = \frac{4}{3} + d = \frac{4}{3} + 1 = \frac{4}{3} + \frac{3}{3} = \frac{7}{3} \] Therefore, \[ H_1 = \frac{3}{7} \] - For \( H_2 \): \[ \frac{1}{H_2} = \frac{4}{3} + 2d = \frac{4}{3} + 2 = \frac{4}{3} + \frac{6}{3} = \frac{10}{3} \] Therefore, \[ H_2 = \frac{3}{10} \] - For \( H_3 \): \[ \frac{1}{H_3} = \frac{4}{3} + 3d = \frac{4}{3} + 3 = \frac{4}{3} + \frac{9}{3} = \frac{13}{3} \] Therefore, \[ H_3 = \frac{3}{13} \] - For \( H_4 \): \[ \frac{1}{H_4} = \frac{4}{3} + 4d = \frac{4}{3} + 4 = \frac{4}{3} + \frac{12}{3} = \frac{16}{3} \] Therefore, \[ H_4 = \frac{3}{16} \] 6. **Final Result**: The four Harmonic Means between \( \frac{3}{4} \) and \( \frac{3}{19} \) are: \[ H_1 = \frac{3}{7}, \quad H_2 = \frac{3}{10}, \quad H_3 = \frac{3}{13}, \quad H_4 = \frac{3}{16} \]
