Question

State True or False. If a, b, c are in A.P., then $b+c,c+a,a+b$ are also in A.P.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

We have,

$a,b,c$ are in $A.P$

So,

$2b=a+c$ $............\left(1\right)$

$2b+c+a=2a+2c$

$b+b+c+a=c+a+c+a$

$b+c+a+b=2(c+a)$

$2(c+a)=b+c+a+b$

So,

$b+c,c+a,a+b$ are in $A.P$

Hence, this is the answer. Hence the answer is True.
