$$\frac{{a}}{{p}}=\frac{{h}}{{r}}=\frac{{b}}{{q}}\:\Rightarrow\frac{{p}}{{q}}=\frac{{a}}{{b}} \\ $$$$\frac{{x}−{a}}{{p}}=\frac{{b}−{x}}{{q}} \\ $$$$\frac{{x}−{a}}{{b}−{x}}=\frac{{p}}{{q}}=\frac{{a}}{{b}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{2}{ab}={x}\left({a}+{b}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{2}}{{x}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{a}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{b}}\:\checkmark \\ $$
