The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will denote the three terms of the G.P. as \( A, Ar, Ar^2 \). ### Step 1: Set up the equations We know from the problem statement: 1. The sum of the first three terms is given by: \[ A + Ar + Ar^2 = 13/12 \] 2. The product of the three terms is given by: \[ A \cdot Ar \cdot Ar^2 = A^3 r^3 = -1 \] ### Step 2: Solve for \( A \) From the product equation, we can express \( A \): \[ A^3 = -1 \implies A = -1 \] ### Step 3: Substitute \( A \) into the sum equation Substituting \( A = -1 \) into the sum equation: \[ -1 + (-1)r + (-1)r^2 = 13/12 \] This simplifies to: \[ -1 - r - r^2 = 13/12 \] Rearranging gives: \[ -r - r^2 = 13/12 + 1 = 13/12 + 12/12 = 25/12 \] Thus: \[ r^2 + r + \frac{25}{12} = 0 \] ### Step 4: Clear the fraction Multiply through by 12 to eliminate the fraction: \[ 12r^2 + 12r + 25 = 0 \] ### Step 5: Solve the quadratic equation Now we can apply the quadratic formula \( r = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \): Here, \( a = 12, b = 12, c = 25 \): \[ r = \frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{12^2 - 4 \cdot 12 \cdot 25}}{2 \cdot 12} \] Calculating the discriminant: \[ 12^2 - 4 \cdot 12 \cdot 25 = 144 - 1200 = -1056 \] Since the discriminant is negative, we have complex roots. However, we are interested in real terms, so we will consider the roots: \[ r = \frac{-12 \pm i\sqrt{1056}}{24} \] This gives us two complex values for \( r \). ### Step 6: Find the sum of infinite terms The formula for the sum of an infinite G.P. is: \[ S = \frac{A}{1 - r} \] Substituting \( A = -1 \) and \( r = -\frac{3}{4} \) (the valid real root): \[ S = \frac{-1}{1 - (-\frac{3}{4})} = \frac{-1}{1 + \frac{3}{4}} = \frac{-1}{\frac{7}{4}} = -\frac{4}{7} \] ### Step 7: Calculate \( 7S \) Now we calculate \( 7S \): \[ 7S = 7 \times -\frac{4}{7} = -4 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \( 7S \) is: \[ \boxed{-4} \]

To solve the problem step by step, we will denote the three terms of the G.P. as \( A, Ar, Ar^2 \). ### Step 1: Set up the equations We know from the problem statement: 1. The sum of the first three terms is given by: \[ A + Ar + Ar^2 = 13/12 \] ...
