Solution

Given a1,a2,a3,5,4,a6,a7,a8,a9 are in H.P.
a+3d=15;a+4d=14
where, a,d are first term and common diference of corresponding AP.
a=d=120
D=∣ ∣a1a2a354a6a7a8a9∣ ∣
=203∣ ∣ ∣ ∣11213141516171819∣ ∣ ∣ ∣
applying C2C212C1 and C3C313C1 gives
=203∣ ∣ ∣1001434011217356463∣ ∣ ∣
=203(340463112356)
=203×115×224=5021
[Δ]=[5021]=2 where [.] is greatest integer function.
