To solve the problem, we need to find the common ratio \( r \) of an infinite geometric progression (G.P.) where each term is twice the sum of the terms that follow it. Let's break this down step by step. ### Step 1: Define the terms of the G.P. Let the first term of the G.P. be \( a \) and the common ratio be \( r \). The terms of the G.P. can be expressed as: - First term: \( a \) - Second term: \( ar \) - Third term: \( ar^2 \) - \( n \)-th term: \( ar^{n-1} \) ...
