Answer 4

In a G.P
Tp = a,
and Tq = b,
so Tr = c
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 11 Geometric Progression Ex 11C 4

Question 5.

If a, b and c in G.P., prove that : log an, log bn and log cn are in A.P.

Answer 5 

a, b, c are in G.P.
Let A and R be the first term and common ratio respectively.
Therefore,
a = A
b = AR
c = AR2
log a = log A
and log b = log AR = log A + log R
log c = log AR2 = log A + 2log R
hence log a, log b and log c are in A.P.
If 2log b = log a + log c
then 2[logA + logR] = log A + log A + 2log R
If 2log A + 2log R = 2log A + 2log R
which is true.
Hence log a, log b and log c are in A.P.

Question 6.

If each term of a G.P. is raised to the power x, show that the resulting sequence is also a G.P.

Answer 6

Let a, b, c are in G.P.
Then b2 = ac …(i)
Now ax, bx + cx will be in G.P. if (bx)2 = ax.cx
=> (bx)2 = ax.cx
=>(b2)= (ac)x
Hence ax, bx, cx are in G.P. (∴ b2 = ac)
Hence proved.

Question 7.

If a, b and c are in A.P. a, x, b are in G.P. whereas b, y and c are also in G.P. Show that : x2, b2, y2 are in A.P.

Answer 7

2 b = a + c _(i)
a, x, b are in G.P.
x2 = ab _(ii)
and b, y, c in G.P.
y2 = bc _(iii)
Now x2 + y2 = ab + bc
= b(a + c)
and = b x 2b [from(i)]
so= 2 b2
Hence x2, b2, y2 are in G.P.

Question 8.

If a, b, c are in G.P. and a, x, b, y, c are in A.P., prove that :
(i)\frac { 1 }{ x } +\frac { 1 }{ y } =\frac { 2 }{ b }
(ii)\frac { a }{ x } +\frac { c }{ y } =2

Answer 8

a, b, c are in G.P.
b2 = ac
a, x, b, y, c are in A.P.
2x = a + b and 2y = b + c

Question 9.

If a, b and c are in A.P. and also in G.P., show that: a = b = c.

Answer 9

a, b, c are in A.R
2 b = a + c ….(i)
Again, a, b, c are in G.P.

Question 3.

The second term of a G.P. is 9 and sum of its infinite terms is 48. Find its first three terms.

Answer 3

In a G.P.
T2 = 9, sum of infinite terms = 48
Let a be the first term and r be the common ratio, therefore,
S = \\ \frac { a }{ 1-r }

Question 7.

Find the numbers in G.P. whose sum is 52 and the sum of whose product in pairs is 624.

Answer 7

Sum of 3 numbers in G.P. = 52
and their product in pairs = 624
Let numbers be a, ar, ar²

Question 8.

The sum of three numbers in G.P. is 21 and the sum of their squares is 189. Find the numbers.

Answer 8

Sum of three numbers in G.P. = 21
Sum of their squares = 189
Let three numbers be a, ar, ar², then
a + ar + ar² = 21
=> a( 1 + r + r²) = 21….(i)
