If `a ,b ,ca n dd` are in H.P., then prove that `(b+c+d)//a ,(c+d+a)//b ,(d+a+b)//c` and `(a+b+c)//d` , are in A.P.

A

`abgtcd`

B

`acgtbd`

C

`adgtbc`

D

`bcgtad`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
a,b,c,d are in H.P.
`rArr" "` a,b,c,d are in H.P.
`rArr" "` b is H.M. of a and c
But, geometric mean of a and c is `sqrt(ac)`.
`:." "G.M.gtH.M.rArrsqrt(ac)gtb . . .(i)`
Similarly a,c,d are in H.P.
`rArr" "sqrt(bd)gtc` . . . (ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
`sqrt(ac)sqrt(bd)gtbcrArrabcdgtb^(2)c^(2)rArradgtbc`
