S1 ,S2 and S3 are respectively the sum of n ,2n and 3n terms of a G.P
Lett say first term = a & common Ratio = r
S1 = a(rⁿ - 1)/(r-1)
S2 = a(r²ⁿ - 1)/(r-1)
S3 = a(r³ⁿ - 1)/(r-1)
LHS = S1(S3 - S2)
= {a(rⁿ - 1)/(r-1)} (a(r³ⁿ - 1)/(r-1) - a(r²ⁿ - 1)/(r-1))
= {a²(rⁿ - 1)/(r-1)²} (r³ⁿ - 1 -r²ⁿ + 1)
= {a²(rⁿ - 1)/(r-1)²}r²ⁿ(rⁿ - 1)
= a²(rⁿ - 1)²r²ⁿ/ (r-1)²
= ( arⁿ(rⁿ - 1)/(r-1) )²
RHS = (S2-S1)²
= (a(r²ⁿ - 1)/(r-1) - a(rⁿ - 1)/(r-1))²
= (a/(r-1))²(r²ⁿ - 1 - rⁿ + 1)²
= (a/(r-1))²(r²ⁿ - rⁿ)²
= (arⁿ/(r-1))²(rⁿ - 1)²
= (arⁿ(rⁿ - 1)/(r-1))²
LHS = RHS
