उत्तर

\[\text { Given }: \frac{1}{a}, \frac{1}{b}, \frac{1}{c} \text { are in A . P } . \]

\[ \therefore \frac{2}{b} = \frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{c}\]

\[ \Rightarrow 2ac = ab + bc . . . . (1)\]

\[\text { To prove: } a(b + c), b(c + a), c(a + b) \text { are in A . P } . \]

\[ \Rightarrow 2b(c + a) = a(b + c) + c(a + b)\]

\[\text { LHS: } 2b(c + a)\]

\[ = 2bc + 2ba\]

\[\text { RHS: } a(b + c) + c(a + b)\]

\[ = ab + ac + ac + bc\]

\[ = ab + 2ac + bc\]

\[ = ab + ab + bc + bc (\text { From }(1))\]

\[ = 2ab + 2bc\]

\[ \therefore\text {  LHS = RHS }\]

\[\text { Hence, proved  }.\]
