$\frac { 2 }{ 27 } ,\frac { 2 }{ 9 } ,\frac { 2 }{ 3 } ,....162$

G.P is $\frac { 2 }{ 27 } ,\frac { 2 }{ 9 } ,\frac { 2 }{ 3 } ,....162$
a = $\\ \frac { 2 }{ 27 }$
r = $\frac { 2 }{ 9 } \div \frac { 2 }{ 27 }$
$\frac { 2 }{ 9 } \times \frac { 27 }{ 2 }$
= 3
l = 162

#### Question 3.

For the G.P. $\frac { 1 }{ 27 } ,\frac { 1 }{ 9 } ,\frac { 1 }{ 3 } .....81$
find the product of fourth term from the beginning and the fourth term from the end.

$\frac { 1 }{ 27 } ,\frac { 1 }{ 9 } ,\frac { 1 }{ 3 } .....81$
a = $\\ \frac { 2 }{ 27 }$
r = $\frac { 1 }{ 9 } \div \frac { 1 }{ 27 }$
$\frac { 1 }{ 9 } \times \frac { 27 }{ 1 }$
= 3

#### Question 4.

If for a G.P., pth, qth and rth terms are a, b and c respectively ;
prove that :
{q – r) log a + (r – p) log b + (p – q) log c = 0

In a G.P
Tp = a,
and Tq = b,
so Tr = c

#### Question 5.

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

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.

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.

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)$\frac { a }{ x } +\frac { c }{ y } =2$

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.

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