The sum of the reciprocals of the first 11 terms in the harmonic progression series is 110. Determine the 6 terms of the harmonic progression series.

Dear Student

Reciprocals of first 11 terms will be AP

Therefore, Sn =  n2 [2a + (n − 1) d]

S11=110

n =11

110 =   112×[2a + (11 − 1) d]

110 = 112× [2a + 10d]

220 = 22a + 110d

22a + 110d = 220

a + 5d = 10

which is the 6th term of the AP series

Therefore, the 6th term in HP = 110
