Question:

If $r_1,r_2,r_3$, in triangle be in H.P. then the sides are:

Options:

A.P.

G.P.

H.P.

None of these

Correct Answer:

A.P.

Explanation:

$\frac{1}{r_3}-\frac{1}{r_2}=\frac{1}{r_2}-\frac{1}{r_1}$

$⇒\frac{1}{r_1}+\frac{1}{r_3}=\frac{2}{r_2}$

so $\frac{s-a}{Δ}+\frac{s-c}{Δ}=\frac{2(s-b)}{Δ}$

$⇒2s-(a+c)=2s-2b$

$⇒a+c=2b$
