उत्तर
Let A be the first term and D be the common difference of the AP. Therefore,
\[a_p = A + \left( p - 1 \right)D = a . . . . . \left( 1 \right)\]
\[ a_q = A + \left( q - 1 \right)D = b . . . . . \left( 2 \right)\]
\[ a_r = A + \left( r - 1 \right)D = c . . . . . \left( 3 \right)\]
Also, suppose A' be the first term and R be the common ratio of the GP. Therefore,
\[a_p = A' R^{p - 1} = a . . . . . \left( 4 \right)\]
\[ a_q = A' R^{q - 1} = b . . . . . \left( 5 \right)\]
\[ a_r = A' R^{r - 1} = c . . . . . \left( 6 \right)\]
Now,
Subtracting (2) from (1), we get
\[A + \left( p - 1 \right)D - A - \left( q - 1 \right)D = a - b\]
\[ \Rightarrow \left( p - q \right)D = a - b . . . . . \left( 7 \right)\]
Subtracting (3) from (2), we get
\[A + \left( q - 1 \right)D - A - \left( r - 1 \right)D = b - c\]
\[ \Rightarrow \left( q - r \right)D = b - c . . . . . \left( 8 \right)\]
Subtracting (1) from (3), we get
\[A + \left( r - 1 \right)D - A - \left( p - 1 \right)D = c - a\]
\[ \Rightarrow \left( r - p \right)D = c - a . . . . . \left( 9 \right)\]
\[\therefore a^{b - c} b^{c - a} c^{a - b}\]
