The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the sequence \( \frac{1}{3}, \frac{2}{3}, 1, \frac{4}{3} \) is a geometric progression (G.P.), we need to check if the ratio between consecutive terms is constant. ### Step 1: Identify the terms Let: - \( T_1 = \frac{1}{3} \) - \( T_2 = \frac{2}{3} \) - \( T_3 = 1 \) - \( T_4 = \frac{4}{3} \) ### Step 2: Calculate the ratio between the first two terms The ratio \( r_1 \) between the first and second terms is given by: \[ r_1 = \frac{T_2}{T_1} = \frac{\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{1}{3}} = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{1} = 2 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the ratio between the second and third terms The ratio \( r_2 \) between the second and third terms is given by: \[ r_2 = \frac{T_3}{T_2} = \frac{1}{\frac{2}{3}} = 1 \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{3}{2} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the ratio between the third and fourth terms The ratio \( r_3 \) between the third and fourth terms is given by: \[ r_3 = \frac{T_4}{T_3} = \frac{\frac{4}{3}}{1} = \frac{4}{3} \] ### Step 5: Compare the ratios Now we compare the ratios: - \( r_1 = 2 \) - \( r_2 = \frac{3}{2} \) - \( r_3 = \frac{4}{3} \) Since \( r_1 \), \( r_2 \), and \( r_3 \) are not equal, the ratios are not constant. ### Conclusion The sequence \( \frac{1}{3}, \frac{2}{3}, 1, \frac{4}{3} \) is **not a geometric progression (G.P.)**. ---
