Four positive integers
P, Q, R and
S with
P <
Q <
R <
S are such that
P, Q and
R (in this order) are in arithmetic sequence and
Q, R and
S (in this order) are in
harmonic sequence.
Given that
S - P = 19, determine all possible quadruplet(s)
(P, Q, R, S) that satisfy the given conditions.
I only found one quadruplet that satisfies the given conditions:
(72, 78, 84, 91).The constant value between the successive terms of the arithemetic sequence of 72, 78, and 84 is +6.
The constant value between the successive terms of the
arithmetic sequence 1/78, 1/84, 1/91 (i.e., harmonic sequence of 78, 84, 91) is -1/1092.
