AB is a line and P and Q divide in same ratio. Therefore,

1). Internally

Let AP = x then,

AQ = 2x and AB = 3x.

Thus AP, AQ and AB are in GP and AP(since x, 2x and 3x are in GP and AP).

2). Externally

Let AB = x then,

AP = 2x and AQ = 3x.

Thus AB, AP and AQ are in GP and AP(since x, 2x and 3x are in GP and AP).

Therefore they will be in AP and GP.

 

 

Therefore, we can say that
