Solution

The correct option is C


Given Tm = n, Tn = m for H.P. therefore for the corresponding A.P. mth term = 1n, nth term = 1m

Let a and d be the first term and common difference of this A.P., then

a+(m−1)d = 1n ......(i)

a+(n−1)d = 1m ......(i)

Solving these, we get a = 1mn, d = 1mn

Now, rth term of corresponding A.P.

= a+(r−1)d = 1mn+(r−1)1mn = 1+r−1mn = rmn

Therefore rth term of corresponding H.P. is mnr

Note : Students should remember this question as a fact.
