If a, b, c be the p^th, q^th, r^th terms of a GP, then the value of (q – r) log a + (r – p) -Maths 9th

Description : If a, b, c be the p^th, q^th, r^th terms of a GP, then the value of (q – r) log a + (r – p) -Maths 9th

Last Answer : (a) 0Let h be the first term and k be the common ratio of a GP, then a = hkp - 1, b = hkq - 1, c = hkr - 1∴ (q - r) log a + (r - p) log b + (p - q) log c = log [hkp -1]q - r + log [hkq -1]r - p + log[hkr -1]p - ... r + r - p + p - q) (kp - 1)q - r (kq -1)r - p (kr -1)p - q = log(ho ko) = log 1 = 0.

For three distinct positive numbers p, q and r, if p + q + r = a, then -Maths 9th

Description : For three distinct positive numbers p, q and r, if p + q + r = a, then -Maths 9th

Last Answer : answer:

If ABCD is a rectangle and P, Q, R and S are the mid-points of the sides AB, BC, CD and DA respectively, then quadrilateral PQRS is a rhombus. -Maths 9th

Description : If ABCD is a rectangle and P, Q, R and S are the mid-points of the sides AB, BC, CD and DA respectively, then quadrilateral PQRS is a rhombus. -Maths 9th

Last Answer : Here, we are joining A and C. In ΔABC P is the mid point of AB Q is the mid point of BC PQ∣∣AC [Line segments joining the mid points of two sides of a triangle is parallel to AC(third side) and ... RS=PS=RQ[All sides are equal] ∴ PQRS is a parallelogram with all sides equal ∴ So PQRS is a rhombus.
