JEE Advanced Mathematics question
If are the th, th, th terms of an HP and
u = (q - r) i + (r - p) j + (p - q) k, v = + +
then
Answer: (B)
Solution
Since are terms of an HP, are terms of an AP with first term and common difference :
1a = x + (p-1)y, 1b = x + (q-1)y, 1c = x + (r-1)y.
Then
u· v = (x - y) + y[p(q-r) + q(r-p) +
