Questions of AP and GP and HP

General form of AP ,GP and HP

Arithmetic Progression (AP):

The general form of an AP is : a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, …, where a is the first term and d is the common difference

Geometric Progression (GP):

The general form of an GP is : a, ar, ar^2, ar^3, …, where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

Harmonic Progression (HP):

The general form of an HP is : 1/a, 1/(a + d), 1/(a + 2d), 1/(a + 3d), …, where a is the first term and d is the common difference.

Examples

Time: 00:00:00
If p, q, r pre in h.p, then q is connected with p and r as

2\frac{1}{q} = \frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{r}

2\frac{1}{q} = \frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{r}

2\frac{1}{r} = \frac{1}{q}+\frac{1}{p}

2\frac{1}{r} = \frac{1}{q}+\frac{1}{p}

2\frac{1}{q} = \frac{1}{p}-\frac{1}{r}

2\frac{1}{q} = \frac{1}{p}-\frac{1}{r}
