The first term of a G.P. is 2 and each of its term is equal to sum of the succeding terms of the G.P. Find the G.P.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
N/a

`"Let the G.P. be "a+ar+ar^(2)+ar^(3)+...oo" Here "a=2 and a=ar+ar^(2)+ar^(3)+...oo`
`rArr" "a=(ar)/(1-r)`
`rArr" "1=(r)/(1-r)`
`rArr" "1-r=r`
`rArr" "r=(1)/(2)`
`thereforeG.P. = 2+1+(1)/(2)+(1)/(4)+...oo.`
