The correct Answer is:
To find the geometric progression (G.P.) whose first term is 64 and the second term is 32, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the first and second terms Let the first term \( t_1 = 64 \) and the second term \( t_2 = 32 \). ### Step 2: Find the common ratio The common ratio \( r \) of a G.P. can be found using the formula: \[ r = \frac{t_2}{t_1} \] Substituting the values: \[ r = \frac{32}{64} = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the subsequent terms Now that we have the common ratio, we can find the next terms in the G.P. - **Third term \( t_3 \)**: \[ t_3 = r \times t_2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 32 = 16 \] - **Fourth term \( t_4 \)**: \[ t_4 = r \times t_3 = \frac{1}{2} \times 16 = 8 \] - **Fifth term \( t_5 \)**: \[ t_5 = r \times t_4 = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 = 4 \] ### Step 4: Write the G.P. Now we can write the G.P. using the terms we have calculated: \[ \text{G.P.} = 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, \ldots \] ### Final Answer: The required geometric progression is: \[ 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, \ldots \] ---
