For two numbers x and y, let x, a, y be a sequence of three numbers. If x, a, y is an arithmetic progression then ‘a’ is called arithmetic mean. If x, a, y is a geometric progression then ‘a’ is called geometric mean. If x, a, y form a harmonic progression then ‘a’ is called harmonic mean.

Below is the derivation of this relationship.
