In a finite G.P. the product of the terms equidistant from the beginning and the end is always same and equal to the product of first and last term.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let
`a, ar,ar^2,ar^3...ar^(n-1)` is the G.P. with first term as `a` and common ratio `r`.
Then,
`k` th term from the beginning ` = ar^(k-1)`
Now, `k` th term from the end will be `n-k+1` th term from the beginning.
So, `n-k+1` th term from the beginning `= ar^(n-k+1-1) = ar^(n-k)`
Now, product of `k` th term from the beginning and end `= ar^(k-1)*ar^(n-k)`
