90. Given, are in A.P.
So, are in A.P.
are in A.P.
If we add 1 to all each terms of the sequence it will given be an A.P of common difference 1.
So, are in A.P.
are in A.P.
Dividing add of the sum by ab + bc + ac will conserve.
then A.P so,
are in A.P.
Similarly multiplying each term by abc we get,
are in A.P.
a, b, c, are in A.P.
Hence proved

First term = a
Common difference = d
Given: a + 5d = 2 . (1)
Product (P) = (a1a5a4) = a (a + 4d) (a + 3d)
Using (1)
P = (2 – 5d) (2 – d) (2 – 2d)
-> = (2 – 5d) (2 –d) (– 2) + (2 – 5d) (2 – 2d) (– 1) + (– 5) (2 – d) (2 – 2d)
= –2 [ (d – 2) (5d – 2) + (d – 1) (5d – 2) + (d – 1) (5d – 2) + 5 (d – 1) (d – 2)]
= –2 [15d2 – 34d + 16]

S20 = [2a + 19d] = 790
2a + 19d = 79 . (1)
2a + 9d = 29 . (2)
from (1) and (2) a = –8, d = 5

3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, . 403 = AP1
2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, . 401 = AP2
so common terms A.P.

3, a, b, c are in A.P.
a – 3 = b – a (common diff.)
2a = b + 3
and 3, a – 1, b + 1 are in G.P.
a2 + 1 – 2a = 3b + 3
a2 – 8a + 7 = 0 &n
