Take RHS
4(a-b)(b-c)
Expand it
4[ab -ac -b^2 +bc]
Use 2b = a +c.       Because a,b,c are in A.P.
4[(a+c)(a+c)/2 -ac - (a+c)^2]
= a^2 + c^2 - 2ac
= (a -c)^2
= LHS
Hence proved

To prove(a-c)^2=4(a-b)(b-c)Or{ (a-c)^2}/}(a-b)(b-c)} =4 ...... 1Given a,b,c are in A.P. assume the common difference be d than b-a= c-b= d And c-a= 2dPut values in LHS of 14d^2/d^2=4 = RHS
