dear sudhir singh

let first term is x

then (2n-1)th term

 x+(2n-2)d1  = xr2n-2 = x/{1+(2n-2)d2} =k


so  (n-1)d1=(k-x)/2

and  rn-1=√k/x

and   x (n-1)d2 =(x-k)/2k


so for nth term

given   a = x+(n-1)d1

              =(k+x)/2

         b = xrn-1 = √kx

        c = x/({1+(n-)d2} = 2kx/(x+k)


clearly   a.c =b2
