The `1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd` terms of an arithmetic series are a, b and `a^2` where 'a' is negative. The `1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd` terms of a geometric series are a, `a^2` and b find the
(a) value of a and b
(b) sum of infinite geometric series if it exists. If no then find the sum to n terms of the G.P.
(c) sum of the 40 term of the arithmetic series.
