Options
- A^2 2 -1
- B1+ ^2 2
- C1+ ^2 2
- D1- ^2 2
Correct answer
A. ^2 2 -1
Step-by-step solution
Given, ( - ), and ( + ) are in harmonic progression 2 = ( + )+ ( - ) ( - ) ( + ) aligned & = 2 ( - ) ( + ) ( - )+ ( + ) & 2 ( - ) ( + ) 2 aligned aligned & = ^2 ^2 - ^2 ^2 & = ^2 ^2 - (1- ^2 ) ^2 & = ^2 ^2 + ^2 ^2 - ^2 & ^2 = ^2 - ^2 & ^2 = ^2 1- = 4 ^2 2 2 ^2 2 ^2 2 =2 ^2 2 & ^2 =1-2 ^2 2 & Now, ^2 = 1-2 ^2 2 2 ^2 2 = 1 2 ^2 2 -1 & 2 ^2 = ^2 2 -2 & 2 ^2 = ^2 2 -1 . aligned
