Given: a, b and c ar in  AP
As we know, if a, b and c are in AP then 2b = a + c------ (1)

We have to prove that ( bc - a2 ), ( ca - b2 ), ( ab - c2 ) are in AP.
For this we should prove :  2( ca - b2 ) = ( bc - a2 )+ ( ab - c2 )

Let us consider ( bc - a2 )+ ( ab - c2 )
= ab + bc - (a2+c2)
= b( a + c ) - [ (a + c)- 2ac]        [ ∵ a2+b2 = (a + b)- 2ab ]
= b(2b) - [ ( 2b )-2ac]                  [ ∵ From (1) ]
= 2b- 4b+ 2ac
= 2ac - 2b2
= 2(ca - b2)
