If `a_(1),a_(2),….a_(n)` are in arthimatic progression, where `a_(i)gt0` for all I, then show that
`1/(sqrt(a_(1))+sqrt(a_(2)))+1/(sqrt(a_(2))+sqrt(a_(3)))+…+1/(sqrt(a_(n-1))+sqrt(a_(n)))`
`(n-1)/(sqrt(a_(1))+sqrt(a_(n)))`

A

`(1)/(sqrt(a_(1))+sqrt(a_(n)))`

B

`(1)/(sqrt(a_(1))-sqrt(a_(n)))`

C

`(n)/(sqrt(a_(1))-sqrt(a_(n)))`

D

`(n-1)/(sqrt(a_(1))+sqrt(a_(n)))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Let d be the common difference of the A.P. The,
`(1)/(sqrt(a_(1))sqrt(a_(2)))+(1)/(sqrt(a_(2))sqrt(a_(3)))" . . .(1)/(sqrt(a_(n-1))sqrt(a_(n)))`
`=(sqrt(a_(2))-sqrt(a_(1)))/(d)+(sqrt(a_(3))-sqrt(a_(2)))/(d)+ . . .(sqrt(a_(n))-sqrt(a_(n-1)))/(d)`
`=(sqrt(a_(n))-sqrt(a_(1)))/(d)=(a_(n)-a_(1))/("d "sqrta_(n)+sqrt(a_(1)))=(n-1)/(sqrt(a_(n))+sqrt(a_(1)))`
