2105/037) If one AM A and two GMs p and q are inserted between two given numbers, show that \dfrac{p^2}{q} + \dfrac{q^2}{p}= 2A

because A is AM so 

2A = (a+b)\cdots(1)

and p q are 2 GMS

a,p, q, b are in GP

ratio = t so 

p = at\cdots(2)
q = at^2\cdots(3)
b = at^3\cdots(4)

now 
(\dfrac{p^2}{q} + \dfrac{q^2}{p})
= \dfrac{a^2t^2}{at^2} + \dfrac{a^2t^4}{at} (from 2 and 3)
= a + at^3
= a + b (from (4))
= 2A (from 1)
