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)))`

L.H.S. `= (1)/(sqrt(a_(1)) + sqrt(a_(2))) + (1)/(sqrt(a_(2)) + sqrt(a_(3))) + ....+ (1)/(sqrt(a_(n - 1)) + sqrt(a_(n)))`
`= (1)/(sqrt(a_(2)) + sqrt(a_(1))) + (1)/(sqrt(a_(3)) + sqrt(a_(2))) + .... + (1)/(sqrt(a_(n)) + sqrt(a_(n - 1)))`
`=(sqrt(a_(2)) - sqrt(a_(1)))/((a_(2) - a_(1))) + (sqrt(a_(3)) - sqrt(a_(2)))/((a_(3) - a_(2))) + ... + (sqrt(a_(n))- sqrt(a_(n - 1)))/(a_(n ) - a_(n - 1))`
Let 'd' is the common difference of this A.P.
then `a_(2) - a_(1) = a_(3) - a_(2) = ....... = a_(n) - a_(n -1) = d`
Now L.H.S.
`= (1)/(d) {sqrt(a_(2)) - sqrt(a_(1)) + sqrt(a_(3)) - sqrt(a_(2)) + .... + sqrt(a_(n - 1)) - sqrt(a_(n - 2)) + sqrt(a_(n - 1))} = (1)/(d) {sqrt(a_(n)) - sqrt(a_(1))}`
`= (a_(n) - a_(n))/(d(sqrt(a_(n)) + sqrt(a_(1)))) = (a_(1) + (n - 1) d- a_(1))/(d(sqrt(a_(n)) + sqrt(a_(1)))) = (1)/(d) ((n - 1)d)/(d(sqrt(a_(n)) + sqrt(a_(1)))) = (n - 1)/(sqrt(a_(n)) + sqrt(a_(1))) =` R.H.S
