Given:
a1,a2,a3,....,an   are in H.P.
a2=a1+a32a1a3                                                    .....( 1 )
a1a2+a2a3=2a1a3
a1a2+a2a3=(31)a1a3                           .....( 2 )
Now,
a3=a2+a42a2a4
a3(a2+a4)=2a4.a1+a32a1a3                         [From eq ( 1 )]
(a1+a3)(a2+a4)=4a1a4
a1a2+a2a3+a3a4=(41)a1a4                .....( 3 )
 
Comparing eq (2) and (3) for upto n terms:
a1a2+a2a3+a3a4+....+an1an=(n1)a1an
