Hi , thank you for asking the question
consider (-1)k(xk+xk+1/xk - x k+1) ~1
now ,as they are in H.P their inverse is in A.P and let common difference is r
1/xk+1=1/xk+r
1/xk+1 – 1/xk =r
1/( xk – xk+1 )=1/(r* xk *xk+1) ~2
substitute 2 in 1 then we get
(-1)k(xk+xk+1/r* xk *xk+1)= (-1)k(1/r)(1/ xk +1/ xk+1 )
so the sequence we come as -1(1/r)(1/x1+1/x2)+1/r(1/x2+1/x3)............
(1/r)[-1/x1+1/x21]= (1/r)[1/x21-1/x1]
Hope you got the solution .if there is any problem in understanding the solution continue the thread.
