Answer

Given,

1a,1b and 1c are in A.P.\dfrac{1}{a}, \dfrac{1}{b} \text{ and } \dfrac{1}{c} \text{ are in A.P.} ……..(i)

We know that,

If each term of a given A.P. is multiplied or divided by a given non-zero fixed number, the resulting sequence is an A.P.

Multiplying each term of (i) by abc we get,

bc, ca, ab, …….. are also in A.P.

Hence, proved that bc, ca and ab are also in A.P.
