 Properties and Inequalities

(a) Applicable only for two positive numbers :

If 𝒂 and 𝒃 are two positive numbers & 𝑨, 𝑮, 𝑯 are its A.M., G.M., H.M.
respectively, then 𝑨, 𝑮, 𝑯 are in G.P.

G.P.  𝑮2 = 𝑨𝑯

(b) Applicable only for n positive numbers :

If 𝒂1, 𝒂2, 𝒂3 ......... 𝒂𝒏 are 𝒏 positive numbers are in G.P. and 𝑨𝒏 , 𝑮𝒏 , 𝑯𝒏 are
its A.M., G.M., H.M. respectively, then 𝑨𝒏 , 𝑮𝒏 , 𝑯𝒏 are in G.P.

G.P.  𝑮𝟐𝒏 = 𝑨𝒏 𝑯𝒏
