if a, b, c are in G.P., prove that \( a^2b^2c^2 [\dfrac{1}{a^3} + \dfrac{1}{b^3} + \dfrac{1}{c^3}] = a^3 + b^3 + c^3\)

Solution :-

Given that a, b, c are in GP.

By using the property of geometric mean,

b2 = ac

Let us consider LHS: \( a^2b^2c^2 [\dfrac{1}{a^3} + \dfrac{1}{b^3} + \dfrac{1}{c^3}]\)

\(\dfrac{ (ac)c^2}{a} + \dfrac{(b^2)^2}{b} + \dfrac{a^2(ac)}{c}\) [by substituting the b2 = ac]

\( \dfrac{ac^3}{a} + \dfrac{b^4}{b} +\dfrac{ a^3c}{c}\)

c3 + b3 + a3 = RHS

LHS = RHS

Hence proved.
