Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the common ratio and the terms of a geometric progression (G.P.) given that the sum of the first three terms is \( \frac{13}{12} \) and their product is \( 1 \). ### Step 1: Define the terms of the G.P. Let the first term be \( a \) and the common ratio be \( r \). The first three terms of the G.P. can be expressed as: - First term: \( \frac{a}{r} \) - Second term: \( a \) - Third term: \( ar \) ...
