Harmonic Progression - Properties

Rarely Tested

Harmonic Progression

  • If a, b, c, d,......are unequal numbers then they are said to be in H.P if 1/a, 1/b, 1/c,......are in A.P
  • The ‘n’ term in H.P is 1/(nth term in A.P)

Properties of H.P :

If a, b, c, d,...are in H.P, then

                                               a+d > b+c

                                                 ad > bc

Question 1

Consider the sequence $$t_1 = 1, t_2 = -1$$ and $$t_n = \left(\cfrac{n - 3}{n - 1}\right)t_{n - 2}$$ for $$n \geq 3$$. Then, the value of the sum $$\cfrac{1}{t_2} + \cfrac{1}{t_4} + \cfrac{1}{t_6} + ....... +\cfrac{1}{t_{2022}} + \cfrac{1}{t_{2024}}$$, is

Question 2

If x, y, z are in H.P then $$\frac{y+z-x}{x} , \frac{x+z-y}{y}$$ and $$\frac{x+y-z}{z}$$ are in

Question 3
