If a, b, c, d are in G.P, prove that : (b + c) (b + d) = (c + a) (c + d)

Answer»

a, b, c, d are in G.P. 

Therefore,

bc = ad … (1) 

b2 = ac … (2) 

c2 = bd … (3) 

LHS = b2 + bd + bc + cd

 ⇒ LHS = ac + bd + bc + cd {on substituting value of b2 } …(1) 

RHS = c2 + cd + ac + ad 

⇒ RHS = bd + cd + ac + bc {putting value of c2} …(2) 

From equation 1 and 2 we can say that 

LHS = RHS 

Hence proved
