(B) Given that $\frac{1}{p + q}, \frac{1}{r + p}, \frac{1}{q + r}$ are in $A.P.$By the property of $A.P.$,the difference between consecutive terms is constant:$\frac{1}{r + p} - \frac{1}{p + q} = \frac{1}{q + r} - \frac{1}{r + p}$$\Rightarrow \frac{(p + q) - (r + p)}{(r + p)(p + q)} = \frac{(r + p) - (q + r)}{(q + r)(r + p)}$$\Rightarrow \frac{q - r}{p + q} = \frac{p - q}{q + r}$Cross-multiplying gives:$(q - r)(q + r) = (p - q)(p + q)$$q^2 - r^2 = p^2 - q^2$$2q^2 = p^2 + r^2$This condition implies that $p^2, q^2, r^2$ are in $A.P.$

If $\frac{1}{p + q}, \frac{1}{r + p}, \frac{1}{q + r}$ are in $A.P.$,then
