Detailed Solution

Let the numbers be a and b.

Then,  a1A,b are in AP respectively.

    A=a+b2

Let A1,A2,A3,,An are n arithmetic means between a and b.

Then, a1,A1,A2,,An,b are in AP.

b=a+(n+1)d where d is the common difference.

d=ban+1A1=a+d=a+ban+1=na+a+ban+1=na+bn+1

Since. S is the sum of n arithmetic means. 

 S=n22(na+b)n+1+(n1)ban+1=n2(n+1)[2na+2b+(n1)(ba)]=n2(n+1)[an+nb+b+a]=n2(n+1)[n(a+b)+(a+b)]=n2(n+1)[(n+1)(a+b)]=n(a+b)2=nA
