The given three limits are

\frac{1}{\lim_{x\rightarrow q}f\left ( x \right )}= A \quad \left [ A\neq 0 \right ]\quad\cdots \left ( i \right )
\frac{1}{\lim_{x\rightarrow q}g\left ( x \right )}= B \quad \left [ B\neq 0 \right ]\quad\cdots \left ( ii \right )
\frac{1}{\lim_{x\rightarrow q}h\left ( x \right )}= C \quad \left [ C\neq 0 \right ]\quad\cdots \left ( iii \right )

Note the following important points.
 

  • The “Sum law for limits” states that \lim_{x\rightarrow a}f\left ( x \right )+\lim_{x\rightarrow a}g\left ( x \right )= \lim_{x\rightarrow a}\left [ f\left ( x \right )+g\left ( x \right )\right ]
  • The harmonic mean of the positive n real numbers x_{1},x_{2},x_{3},\dots x_{n} is 


HM= \frac{n}{\frac{1}{x_{1}}+\frac{1}{x_{2}}+\frac{1}{x_{3}}+\dots +\frac{1}{x_{n}}}
It follows that the harmonic mean of the three limits \lim_{x\rightarrow q}f\left ( x \right ),\lim_{x\rightarrow q}g\left ( x \right ),\lim_{x\rightarrow q}h\left ( x \right )
HM= \frac{\left ( n= 3 \right )}{\frac{1}{\lim_{x\rightarrow q}f\left ( x \right )}+\frac{1}{\lim_{x\rightarrow q}g\left ( x \right )}+\frac{1}{\lim_{x\rightarrow q}h\left ( x \right )}}\quad \dots\left ( iv \right )

Using the equations (i), (ii) and (iii), derive the following from the equation (iv).

HM=\frac{3}{A+B+C}
