Dear Abhishek
cos(a-b),cosa,cos(a+b) are in HP, then1/cos(a-b), 1/cosa , 1/cos(a+b) are in A.P. 1/cos(a+b) – 1/cosa = 1/cosa – 1/cos(a-b) [cosa – cos(a+b)] / cos(a+b).cosa = [cos(a-b) – cosa] / cos(a-b).cosa cos(a-b)[cosa – cos(a+b)] = cos(a+b)[cos(a-b) – cosa] cos(a-b).cosa – [cos(a-b).cos(a+b)] = [cos(a-b).cos(a+b)] – cos(a+b).cosa cos(a-b).cosa + cos(a+b).cosa = 2.cos(a-b).cos(a+b) cosa [cos(a-b) + cos(a+b)] = 2(cos²a – sin²b) cosa.(2.cosa.cosb) = 2(cos²a – sin²b) cos²a.cosb – cos²a = -sin²b cos²a.(cosb – 1) = -(1 – cos²b) cos²a.(cosb – 1) = (cosb – 1)(cosb + 1) cos²a – 1 = cosbCos B cos A/2 = +- sqrt (2)
