If the 2nd, 5th and 9th terms of a non-constant A.P. are in G.P., then the common ratio of this G.P. is:
8/5
4/3
1
1
B.
4/3
Let a be the first term and d be a common difference. Then, we have a+d, a+4d, a+8d in GP,
ie. (a +4d)2 = (a+d)(a+8d)
⇒ a2 +16d2 +8ad = a2 +8ad +ad +8d2
⇒ 8d2 = ad
8d =a [∴ d≠0]
Now, common ratio,
If the sum of the first ten terms of the series,
is 16/5 m, the m is equal to
102
101
100
100
Three positive numbers form an increasing GP. If the middle term in this GP is doubled, then new numbers are in AP. Then, the common ratio of the GP is
If x, y, z are in A.P. and tan−1 x, tan−1 y and tan−1 z are also in A.P., then
x= y= z
2x =3y = 6z
6x = 3y= 2z
6x = 3y= 2z
