Q. If $A_{1},\ A_{2}$ are two A$\ \bullet$ M’s between $a$ and $b$ and $G_{1},\ G_{2}$ are two GM’s between $a$ and $b$ then $\frac{A_{1} + A_{2}}{G_{1}G_{2}}$ is

A) $\frac{a + b}{ab}$
B) $\frac{a + b}{2}$
C) $\frac{a + b}{a - b}$
D) None of these
Explanation

(a)
$a,\ A_{1},\ A_{2},\ b$ are in AP
$\therefore\ A_{1} - a = b - A_{2}$
$\Rightarrow \ A_{1} + A_{2} = a + b$
And $a,\ G_{1},\ G_{2},b$ are in GP.
$\therefore\ \ \frac{G_{1}}{a} = \frac{b}{G_{2}}$
$\Rightarrow G_{1}G_{2} = ab$
$\therefore\ \ \frac{A_{1} + A_{2}}{G_{1}G_{2}} = \frac{a + b}{ab}$
