To show that the ratio of the sum of the first \( n \) terms of a geometric progression (G.P.) to the sum of the terms from the \( (n+1)^{th} \) to the \( (2n)^{th} \) term is \( \frac{1}{r^n} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Sum of the First \( n \) Terms of a G.P. The sum \( S_n \) of the first \( n \) terms of a G.P. with first term \( a \) and common ratio \( r \) is given by the formula: \[ S_n = \frac{a(r^n - 1)}{r - 1} \] ...
