Question 1.
Find, which of the following sequence form a G.P. :
(i) 8, 24, 72, 216, ……
(ii) \(\\ \frac { 1 }{ 8 } \),\(\\ \frac { 1 }{ 24 } \),\(\\ \frac { 1 }{ 72 } \),\(\\ \frac { 1 }{ 216 } \)
(iii) 9, 12, 16, 24,…..
Solution:
(i) 8, 24, 72, 216,……
Here, a = 8

Question 2.
Find the 9th term of the series :
1, 4, 16, 64,…….
Solution:
In G.P. 1, 4, 16, 64,….
Here first term (a) = 1
and common ratio (r) = \(\\ \frac { 4 }{ 1 } \) = 4,
T₉ = ar^{n – 1} = 1 x 4^{9 – 1} = 1 x 4⁸ = 4⁸
= 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4
= 65536

Question 3.
Find the seventh term of the G.P. :
1 , √3, 3, 3√3…….
Solution:
G.P. is 1 , √3, 3, 3√3
Here first term (a) = 1

Question 4.
Find the 8th term of the sequence :
\(\\ \frac { 3 }{ 4 } \),\(1 \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \),3……
Solution:
G.P. = \(\\ \frac { 3 }{ 4 } \),\(1 \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \),3…….
= \(\\ \frac { 3 }{ 4 } \),\(\\ \frac { 3 }{ 2 } \),3…….

Question 5.
Find the 10th term of the G.P. :
12, 4, \(1 \frac { 1 }{ 3 } \),……
Solution:
G.P. = 12, 4, \(1 \frac { 1 }{ 3 } \),……..
= 12, 4, \(\\ \frac { 4 }{ 3 } \),…..

Question 6.
Find the nth term of the series :
1, 2, 4, 8 …….
Solution:
1, 2, 4, 8,……
Here, a = 1,r = \(\\ \frac { 2 }{ 1 } \) = 2

Question 7.
Find the next three terms of the sequence :
√5, 5, 5√5…..
Solution:
√5, 5, 5√5……
Here a = √5 and r = \(\frac { 5 }{ \surd 5 }\) = √5

Question 8.
Find the sixth term of the series :
2², 2³, 2⁴,….
Solution:
2², 2³, 2⁴,……
Here, a = 2², r = 2³ ÷ 2² = 2^{3 – 2} = 2¹ = 2

Question 9.
Find the seventh term of the G.P. :
√3 + 1, 1, \(\frac { \surd 3-1 }{ 2 } \),…….
Solution:
√3 + 1, 1, \(\frac { \surd 3-1 }{ 2 } \),…….

Question 10.
Find the G.P. whose first term is 64 and next term is 32.
Solution:
First term of a G.P. (a) = 64
and second term (ar) = 32
G.P. will be 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1,…….

Question 11.
Find the next three terms of the series:
\(\\ \frac { 2 }{ 27 } \),\(\\ \frac { 2 }{ 9 } \),\(\\ \frac { 2 }{ 3 } \),…..
Solution:
G.P. is \(\\ \frac { 2 }{ 27 } \),\(\\ \frac { 2 }{ 9 } \),\(\\ \frac { 2 }{ 3 } \),…..
a = \(\\ \frac { 2 }{ 27 } \)

Question 12.
Find the next two terms of the series
2 – 6 + 18 – 54…..
Solution:
G.P. is 2 – 6 + 18 – 54 +………
Here a = 2 and r = \(\\ \frac { -6 }{ 2 } \) = – 3
Next two terms will be
– 54 x ( – 3) = + 162
162 x ( – 3) = – 486
Next two terms are 162 – 486
