Given that a, b, c are in A. P.

⇒ 2b = a + c ……. (1)

And a2, b2, c2 are in H. P.

⇒ 

⇒ (a – b)(a + b)/b2a2 = (b – c) (b + c)/b2c2

⇒ ac2 + bc2 = a2b + a2c [∵ a – b = b – c]

⇒ ac (c – a) + b (c – a) (c + a) = 0

⇒ (c – a) (ab + bc + ca) = 0

⇒ either c – a = 0 or ab + bc + ca = 0

⇒ either c = a or (a+ c) b + ca = 0 and then form (i) 2b2 + ca = 0

Either a = b = c or b2 = a (-c/2)

i.e. a, b, -c/2 are in G. P. Hence ProvedPlz mark as brainliest if helpful
