Detailed Solution

Let  p=ad,q=a,r=a+d

A) Let al,a2,a3...inA.P

d1 is common difference

 ap=aad=a1+(ad1)d1 (pth term)

aq=aa=a1+(a1)d1 (qth term)

ar=aa+d=a1+(a+d1)d1 (rth term)

aqap=(a1+(a1)d1)(a1+(ad1)d1)=dd1

araq=(a1+(a+d1)d1)(a1+(a1)d1)=dd1

B) Let al,a2,a3...inG.P

 r is common ratio

ap=aad=a1rad1 (pth term)

aq=aa=a1ra1 (qth term)

ar=aa+d=a1ra+d1 (rth term)

aqap=a1ra1a1rad1=ra1a+d+1=rd

araq=a1ra+d1a1ra1=ra+d1a+1=rd

C) Let  al,a2,a3...inH.P

then1a1,1a2,1a3,...inA.P

d1 is common difference

ap=aad=11a1+(ad1)d1 (pth term)

aq=aa=11a1+(a1)d1 (qth term)

ar=aa+d=11a1+(a+d1)d1 (rth term)

1aq1ap=(1a1+(a1)d1)(1a1+(ad1)d1)=dd1

1ar1aq=(1a1+(a+d1)d1)(1a1+(a1)d1)=dd1
