If each term of an infinite G.P. is twice the sum of the terms following it, then find the common ratio of the G.P.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let a be the first term and r the common ratio of the G.P.
let the GP be `a,ar,ar^2,....`
Then,
`=>a=2[ar+ar^2+.....] `
`=>a=2ar[1+r+r^2+.......] `
`=>1=2r×1/(1−r)​ ` ...
