Question : 95
Total: 106
If a, b, c, d are in G.P., prove that ( a n + b n ) , ( b n + c n ) , ( c n + d n ) are in G.P.
Solution:
Since a, b, c, d, are in G.P.
Then
=
=
⇒(
) n = (
) n = (
) n ⇒
=
=
... (i)
Adding 1 to (i), we obtain
+ 1 =
+ 1 =
+ 1 ⇒
=
=
Since
=
⇒
=
... (ii)
Now ,
=
⇒
=
... (iii)
Then
=
[from (i), (ii) and (iii)]
⇒( b n + c n ) 2 = ( a n + b n ) ( a n + c n )
Hence above equation shows that
( a n + b n ) , ( b n + c n ) , ( c n + d n ) are in G. P.
Then
⇒
Adding 1 to (i), we obtain
Since
Now ,
Then
⇒
Hence above equation shows that
