Question 1.
Which term of the G.P. :
– 10, $$\frac { 5 }{ \surd 3 } ,-\frac { 5 }{ 6 } ,….-\frac { 5 }{ 72 } ?$$
Solution:
– 10, $$\frac { 5 }{ \surd 3 } ,-\frac { 5 }{ 6 } ,….$$
Here a = – 10
r = $$\frac { 5 }{ \surd 3 } \div \left( -10 \right)$$

n – 1 = 4
=> n = 4 + 1 = 5
It is 5th term

Question 2.
The fifth term of a G.P. is 81 and its second term is 24. Find the geometric progression.
Solution:
In a G.P.
T5 = ar4 = 81
T2 = ar = 24

Question 3.
Fourth and seventh terms of a G.P. $$\\ \frac { 1 }{ 18 }$$ are $$– \frac { 1 }{ 486 }$$ respectively. Find the GP.
Solution:
In a G.P.

Question 4.
If the first and the third terms of a G.P. are 2 and 8 respectively, find its second term
Solution:
In a G.P.
T1 = 2, and T3 = 8
=>a = 2 and ar² = 8
Dividing, we get
r² = $$\\ \frac { 8 }{ 2 }$$ = 4 = (2)²
r = 2
Second term = ar = 2 x 2 = 4

Question 5.
The product of 3rd and 8th terms of a G.P. is 243. If its 4th term is 3, find its 7th term.
Solution:
Let a be first term and r be common ratio, then
T3 = ar2
T8 = ar7
T3 x T8 = ar2 x ar7
= 243

Question 6.
Find the geometric progression with 4th term = 54 and 7th term = 1458.
Solution:
In a G.P.
T4 = 54 and T7 = 1458
Let a be the first term and r be the common
ratio, then

Question 7.
Second term of a geometric progression is 6 and its fifth term is 9 times of its third term. Find the geometric progression. Consider that each term of the G.P. is positive.
Solution:
In a G.P.
T2 = 6,
T5 = 9 x T3
Let a be the first term and r be the common ratio

Question 8.
The fourth term, the seventh term and the last term of a geometric progression are 10, 80 and 2560 respectively. Find its first term, common ratio and number of terms.
Solution:
In a G.P.
T4= 10,
T7 = 80 and l = 2560
Let a be the first term and r be the common ratio. Therefore

Question 9.
If the 4th and 9th terms of a G.P. are 54 and 13122 respectively, find the GP. Also, find its general term.
Solution:
In a G.P.
T4 = 54 and T9 = 13122
Let a be the first term and r be the common ratio

Question 10.
The fifth, eight and eleventh terms of a geometric progression are p, q and r respectively. Show that : q² = pr.
Solution:
In a G.P.
T5 = p,
T8 = q and T11 = r
To show that q² = pr
Let a be the first term and r be the common ratio, therefore
ar4 = p, ar7 = q and ar10 = r
Squaring the ar7 = q
