If x, y, z are in continued proportion, prove that: `(x + y)^2/(y + z)^2 = x/z`.
उत्तर
x, y, z are in continued proportion
Let `x/y = y/z = k`
Then y = kz
x = yk
= kz × k
= k2z
Now L.H.S.
= `(x + y)^2/(y + z)^2`
= `(k^2 z + kz)^2/(kz + z)^2`
= `{kz(k + 1)}^2/{z(k + 1)}^2`
= `(k^2z^2(k + 1)^2)/(z^2(k + 1)^2)`
= k2
R.H.S. = `x/z`
= `(k^2z)/z`
= k2
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
