Dear Manju
Let solve this question in reverse.
Suppose we have to prove a, b, c are in A.P.
Hence
(2bc +2ab)/ca = (ab +ac)/bc + (ac +bc)/ab
Make LCM as abc nd then cancel out the denominator.
2 b²c + 2 b²a = a²b +a²c + ac² + bc²
b²c - bc² + b²a - ac² = a²b - b²a + a²c -b²c
bc(b-c) + a (b-c)(b+c) = ab (a-b) + c(a-b)(a+b)
(b-c) (ab + bc + ca) = (ab + bc+ ca) (a-b)
b-c = a -b
2 b = a+c
Hence proved that a,b,c are in A.P.
