Answer:
Hey mate here is your answer
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of x+y+z=15, if a,x,y,z,b are in A.P, while the value of
x
1
+
y
1
+
z
1
=
3
5
if a,x,y,z,b are in H.P. Find a× b.

ANSWER
To find the value of a and b
Given,
x+y+z=15....(i)
x
1
+
y
1
+
z
1
=
3
5
........(ii)
if a,x,y,z are in A.P
Then, x,y,z are in A.P
∴2y=x+z......(iii)
⇒2y+y=15........... comparing (iii) and (i)
⇒3y=15⇒
y=5
Now,
2
a+b
=y⇒a+b=2y
⇒a+b=10......(vi)
Now, if a,x,y,z are in HP
then x,y,z one in H.P
∴
y
2
=
x
1
+
z
1
.......(iv)
⇒
x
1
+
y
1
+
z
1
=
3
5
.......(v)
from (iv) and (v) we can write
y
2
+
y
1
=
3
5
=
3
5
........putting (iv) in (v)
y
3
=
3
5
⇒
y=
5
9
Also, a,y,b are in H.P.
a
1
+
b
1
=
y
2
⇒
ab
a+b
=
y
−2
=
9
2×5
⇒
ab
a+b
=
9
10
......(vi)
by comparing (vi) and (vii) we can say that
ab
a+b
=
9
10
⇒
ab
10
=
9
10
⇒
ab=9
.......(viii)
⇒a(10−a)=9
⇒10a−a
2
=9⇒a
2
−10a+9=0
⇒(a−1)(a−9)=0
∴a=1 or 9
∴ when a=1,b=9
a=9,b=1
∴
a×b=9×1=1×9=9
