Find all the sequences which are simultaneously in A.P. and GP.


Let the sequence space space open curly brackets straight t subscript straight n close curly brackets  be in A.P. as well as in G.P.

Let straight t subscript straight n comma space space straight t subscript straight n plus 1 end subscript comma space straight t subscript straight n plus 2 end subscript be three consecutive terms of an A.P.

∴            straight t subscript straight n plus 1 end subscript space minus straight t subscript straight n space equals space straight t subscript straight n plus 2 end subscript minus straight t subscript straight n plus 1 end subscript space horizontal strike logical or space straight n greater or equal than 1

or            space space 2 space straight t subscript straight n plus 1 end subscript space equals space straight t subscript straight n space end subscript plus space straight t subscript straight n plus 2 end subscript space horizontal strike logical or space straight n greater or equal than 1                        ...(i)

Let r be the common ratio of G.P.

∴      straight t subscript straight n plus 1 end subscript over straight t subscript straight n space equals space fraction numerator straight t subscript straight n plus 2 end subscript over denominator straight t subscript straight n plus 1 end fraction space equals space straight r

rightwards double arrow                  straight t subscript straight n plus 1 end subscript space equals space straight t subscript straight n straight r  and space space straight t subscript straight n plus 2 end subscript space equals space straight t subscript straight n plus 1 straight r space equals space straight t subscript straight n straight r squared

Using the values of straight t subscript straight n plus 1 end subscript and space space straight t subscript straight n plus 2 end subscript in (i), we get

                   2 straight t subscript straight n straight r space equals space straight t subscript straight n space plus space straight t subscript straight n straight r squared              rightwards double arrow space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space 2 straight r space equals space 1 plus straight r squared

Hence, all the constant sequences are the only sequences which are in A.P. as well as in G.P.
