To solve the problem, we need to find the geometric progression (GP) given the conditions about its terms. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Define the terms of the GP Let the first term of the GP be \( a \) and the common ratio be \( r \). The first two terms of the GP can be expressed as: - First term: \( a \) - Second term: \( ar \) ### Step 2: Set up the equation for the sum of the first two terms ...
