If $a, b, c, d$ are in $G.P.,$ prove that $\left(a^{n}+b^{n}\right),\left(b^{n}+c^{n}\right),\left(c^{n}+d^{n}\right)$ are in $G.P.$
It is given that $a, b, c$ and $d$ are in $G.P.$
$\therefore b^{2}=a c$ ........$(1)$
$c^{2}=b d$ ........$(2)$
$a d=b c$ ........$(3)$
It has to be proved that $\left(a^{n}+b^{n}\right),\left(b^{n}+c^{n}\right),\left(c^{n}+d^{n}\right)$ are in $G.P.$ i.e.,
$\left(b^{n}+c^{n}\right)^{2}=\left(a^{n}+b^{n}\right),\left(c^{n}+d^{n}\right)$
Consider $L.H.S.$
$\left(b^{n}+c^{n}\right)^{2}=b^{2 n}+2 b^{n} c^{n}+c^{2 n}$
$=\left(b^{2}\right)^{n}+2 b^{n} c^{n}+\left(c^{2}\right)^{n}$
$=(a c)^{n}+2 b^{n} c^{n}+(b d)^{n}$ [ Using $(1)$ and $(2)$ ]
$=a^{n} c^{n}+b^{n} c^{n}+b^{n} c^{n}+b^{n} d^{n}$
$=a^{n} c^{n}+b^{n} c^{n}+a^{n} d^{n}+b^{n} d^{n}$ [ Using $(3)$ ]
$=c^{n}\left(a^{n}+b^{n}\right)+d^{n}\left(a^{n}+b^{n}\right)$
$=\left(a^{n}+b^{n}\right)\left(c^{n}+d^{n}\right)=$ $\mathrm{R.H.S.}$
$\therefore\left(b^{n}+c^{n}\right)^{2}=\left(a^{n}+b^{n}\right)\left(c^{n}+d^{n}\right)$
Thus, $\left(a^{n}+b^{n}\right),\left(b^{n}+c^{n}\right),$ and $\left(c^{n}+d^{n}\right)$ are in $G.P.$
If ${a_1},\;{a_2},\;{a_3}.......{a_n}$ are in $A.P.$, where ${a_i} > 0$ for all $i$, then the value of $\frac{1}{{\sqrt {{a_1}} + \sqrt {{a_2}} }} + \frac{1}{{\sqrt {{a_2}} + \sqrt {{a_3}} }} + $ $........ + \frac{1}{{\sqrt {{a_{n - 1}}} + \sqrt {{a_n}} }} = $
If the sum of first $n$ terms of an $A.P.$ be equal to the sum of its first $m$ terms, $(m \ne n)$, then the sum of its first $(m + n)$ terms will be
The sum of $n$ terms of two arithmetic progressions are in the ratio $(3 n+8):(7 n+15) .$ Find the ratio of their $12^{\text {th }}$ terms.
${7^{th}}$ term of an $A.P.$ is $40$, then the sum of first $13$ terms is
If $19^{th}$ terms of non -zero $A.P.$ is zero, then its ($49^{th}$ term) : ($29^{th}$ term) is
