  1. Solution:

    It is given that

    a, b, c are in continued proportion

    So we get

    a/b = b/c = k

    Therefore, LHS = RHS.

    Therefore, LHS = RHS.

    (iii) a: c = (a2 + b2): (b2 + c2)

    We can write it as

    Therefore, LHS = RHS.

    (iv) a2b2c2 (a-4 + b-4 + c-4) = b-2 (a4 + b4 + c4)

    Therefore, LHS = RHS.

    (v) LHS = abc (a + b + c)3

    We can write it as

    = ck2. ck. c [ck2 + ck + c]3

    Taking out the common terms

    = c3 k3 [c (k2 + k + 1)]3

    So we get

    = c3 k3. c3 (k2 + k + 1)3

    = c6 k3 (k2 + k + 1)3

    RHS = (ab + bc + ca)3

    We can write it as

    = (ck2. ck + ck. c + c. ck2)3

    So we get

    = (c2k3 + c2k + c2k2)3

    = (c2k3 + c2k2 + c2k)3

    Taking out the common terms

    = [c2k (k2 + k + 1)]3

    = c6k3 (k2 + k + 1)3

    Therefore, LHS = RHS.

    (vi) LHS = (a + b + c) (a – b + c)

    We can write it as

    = (ck2 + ck + c) (ck2 – ck + c)

    Taking out the common terms

    = c (k2 + k + 1) c (k2 – k + 1)

    = c2 (k2 + k + 1) (k2 – k + 1)

    So we get

    = c2 (k4 + k2 + 1)

    RHS = a2 + b2 + c2

    We can write it as

    = (ck2)2 + (ck)2 + (c)2

    So we get

    = c2k4 + c2k2 + c2

    Taking out the common terms

    = c2 (k4 + k2 + 1)

    Therefore, LHS = RHS.
