Given a, b, c, d  are in G.P

So, \frac{a}{abcd},\frac{b}{abcd},\frac{c}{abcd},\frac{d}{abcd}   are in G.P.      (Dividing all terms by same constant gives a new G.P.)

\Rightarrow \frac{1}{bcd},\frac{1}{acd},\frac{1}{abd},\frac{1}{abc}  are in G.P.

So, bcd, acd, abd, abc  are in G.P     (Each term is raised to the same power of -1)

and abc,abd,acd,bcd   are in G.P .
