Question:
If $a, b, c$ are in G.P. then the value of $\frac{a-b}{b-c}$ is equal to __________________
Solution:
Let a, b and c be in g.p
i.e b = ar
c = ar2
i. e $\frac{a-b}{b-c}=\frac{a-a r}{a r-a r^{2}}$
$=\frac{a(1-r)}{a\left(r-r^{2}\right)}$
$=\frac{1-r}{r(1-r)}$
$\therefore \frac{a-b}{b-c}=\frac{1}{r}$
