Question

 If p, q, r and s are in A.P., then r - q = ____

 r - s

 s - q

 q - p

 p - q

​

Answer 1

Answer:

If p, q, r and s are in A.P

q=q - p

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

ANSWER

p, q and r are in A.P

i.e. 2q=p+r

General term of G.P is T(K)=ar

(k−1)

p

th

term is :- T(p)=ar

(p−1)

...(1)

q

th

term is :- T(q)=ar

(q−1)

...(2)

r

th

term is :- T(r)=ar

(R−1)

...(3)

To prove that ;- T(p),T(q),T(r) are in G.P

T(q)

2

=T(p).T(r)

[ar

(q−1)

]

2

=ar

(p−1)

.ar

(R−1)

a

ar

2(q−1)

=a

r

(p−1)

r

(R−1)

r

2(q−1)

=r

(P+R−2)

Taking only powers

2(q−1)=P+R−2

2q−2=P+R−2

2q=P+R

This proves that p

th

,q

th

and r

th

term are in G.P
