Let `A_1 , G_1, H_1`denote the arithmetic, geometric and harmonic means respectively, of two distinct positive numbers. For `n >2,`let `A_(n-1),G_(n-1)` and `H_(n-1)` has arithmetic, geometric and harmonic means as `A_n, G_N, H_N,` respectively.A. `G_(1) gt G_(2) gt G_(3) gt ...`B. `G_(1) lt G_(2) lt G_(3) lt...`C. `G_(1) = G_(2) = G_(3) = ...`D. `G_(1) lt G_(3) lt G_(5) lt .... And G_(2) gt G_(4) gt G_(6) gt ...` |
Answer» Correct Answer - C Let a and b are two numbers. Then, `A_(1) = (a +b)/(2) , G_(1) = sqrt(ab), H_(1) = (2ab)/(a +b)` `A_(n) = (A_(n-1) + H_(n-1))/(2)` `G_(n) = sqrt(A_(n-1) H_(n-1))`, `H_(n) = (2A_(n-1) H_(n-1))/(A_(n-1) + H_(n-1))` Clearly, `G_(1) = G_(2) = G_(3) = ...= sqrt(ab)` |
