If a,b,c are in A.P. Prove that b+c,c+a,a+b are also in A.P.?

Question

AKASH GOYAL AskiitiansExpert-IITD · Answer

Dear Rohan
If a,b,c are in AP then 2b=a+c
We have to prove
2(a+c)=(b+c)+(a+b)
so 2a+2c=2b+a+c
so a+c=2b
Which is true
Hence proved

All the best.

In IIT JEE exams emphasis is more on the understanding of concepts rather than rote learning and memorizing of formulae. So read good book and be attentive. Do one or two book only for each subject but revise them regularly. Revision is very important to secure good marks. so don't run after too many books and material. You can use following books for the preparation.
Mathematics:- RD Sharma and Arihant Books, NCERT
Physics H. C. Verma, NCERT. D C PANDEY

vikas askiitian expert · Answer

if a,b,c are in AP then

b-a=c-b

a+c=2b ...........1

now we have to prove that b+c,c+a,a+b are in AP,

let these are in AP then

(a+c)-(b+c)=(a+b)-(a+c)

(a+c)=2b

from eq 1 we have a+c=2b ,RHS=LHS

so these terms are also in AP...

Poornima · Answer

a,b,c. Are in apSo their common difference will be equalSo,b-a=c-ba+c=2bTo proveb+c,c+a,a+b are in apProofLet us consider that they are in apSo,(C+a)-(b+c)=(a+b)-(c+a)c+a-b-c=a+b-c-aa-b=b-ca+c=2bTheir common difference is equal.So they are in ap

Ashutosh Kumar · Answer

Solution-a,b&c are in ap .Now , a+(-a-b-c),b+(-a-b-c)& c+(-a-b-c) are in ap.Now,-b-c,-a-c&-a-b are in apOr,-(b+c),-(a+c)&-(a+b)are in apor,b+c,a+c&a+b are in ap

Ashutosh Bajpai · Answer

If b+c ,c+a,a+b are in AP then c+a -(b+c)=a+b-(c+a)a-b =b-cThen 2b=a+cThus it proved that a,b and c are in Ap

vallish · Answer

here a b c are in ap then b-a=c-b take – common -(a-b)=-(b-c) divide both by - a-b=b-c.........(1) assume a+b b+c a+c are ap b+c -(a+b)=a+c-(b+c) a-b=b-c.........(2) from 1 & 2 hence proof

Ritika Das · Answer

Well, since it is given that a,b and c are in Arithmetic Progression, for any arbitrary common difference d:- b=a+d ; c=a+2d. Therefore, a+b=2a+d; a+c=2a+2d; b+c=2a+3d. Hete all the expressions have a common difference d. Thus proved that a+b, a+c and b+c are in Arithmetic Progression for the common difference d.

Prabhleen kaur · Answer

If a,b,c are in AP. So,b-a=c-b0=c+a-b-b0=c+a-2b2b=c+a ..................1Let us assume that b+c, c+a, a+b are in AP.So, (c+a)-(b+c) = (a+b)-(c+a)(a+c)=2b2b=2b [from eq 1]LHS=RHSTherefore, b+c, c+a and a+b are in AP. Hence,proved

Prabhleen kaur · Answer

A+c =2b.......1Let us assume that b+c,c+a and a+b are in AP(c+a)-(b+c)=(a+b)-(c+a)a+c=2b2b=2b[from eq 1]LHS=RHSTHEREFORE B+C,C+A AND A+B ARE IN AP.hence, proved

ARKADEEP DAS · Answer

let common differene be d then b=a+d c=a+2d now a+c = 2a+2d b+c=2a+3d a+b=2a+d so see there are in ap ok rohan u are done

Kushagra Madhukar · Answer

Dear student, Please find the solution to your problem below. If a,b,c are in AP then b – a = c – b a + c = 2b Adding, a + c on both sides Hence, 2(a + c) = 2b + a + c or, 2(a + c) = b + a + b + c or, 2(a + c) = (a + b) + (b + c) Hence, (b + c), (c + a), (a + b) are also in AP Hope it helps. Thanks and regards, Kushagra
