MCQ
If ${a^2},\,{b^2},\,{c^2}$ be in $A.P.$, then $\frac{a}{{b + c}},\,\frac{b}{{c + a}},\,\frac{c}{{a + b}}$ will be in
  • $A.P.$
  • B
    $G.P.$
  • C
    $H.P.$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
$A.P.$
a
(a) Since ${a^2},\;{b^2},\;{c^2}$ be in $A.P.$

Then ${b^2} - {a^2} = {c^2} - {b^2}$

$ \Rightarrow $ $(b - a)(b + a) = (c - b)(c + b)$

==> $\frac{{b - a}}{{c + b}} = \frac{{c - b}}{{b + a}}$

==> $\frac{{(b - a)(a + b + c)}}{{(c + a)(b + c)}} = \frac{{(c - b)(a + b + c)}}{{(a + b)(c + a)}}$

$ \Rightarrow $ $\frac{{{b^2} + bc - ac - {a^2}}}{{(c + a)(b + c)}} = \frac{{{c^2} + ac - ab - {b^2}}}{{(a + b)(c + a)}}$

$ \Rightarrow $ $\frac{b}{{c + a}} - \frac{a}{{b + c}} = \frac{c}{{a + b}} - \frac{b}{{c + a}}$

Hence $\frac{a}{{b + c}},\;\frac{b}{{c + a}},\;\frac{c}{{a + b}}$ be in $A.P.$
