Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Harmonic progression

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the sides of a \(\triangle A B C\) are \(a, b\) and \(c\) \(\because \frac{1}{a}, \frac{1}{b}, \frac{1}{c}\) are in H.P. \(\Rightarrow a, b, c\) are in A.P. \(\Rightarrow s-a, s-b, s-c\) are in A.P. \(\Rightarrow \frac{s-a}{\Delta}, \frac{s-b}{\Delta}, \frac{s-c}{\Delta}\)…
