The correct Answer is:
To find the four terms in a geometric progression (G.P.) where the third term is 9 more than the first term and the second term is 18 more than the fourth term, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Terms of the G.P.**: Let the first term be \( a \) and the common ratio be \( r \). The four terms in G.P. can be expressed as: - First term: \( a \) - Second term: \( ar \) - Third term: \( ar^2 \) - Fourth term: \( ar^3 \) 2. **Set Up the Equations**: According to the problem: - The third term is 9 more than the first term: \[ ar^2 = a + 9 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] - The second term is 18 more than the fourth term: \[ ar = ar^3 + 18 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] 3. **Rearranging Equation 1**: From Equation 1: \[ ar^2 - a = 9 \] Factoring out \( a \): \[ a(r^2 - 1) = 9 \quad \text{(Equation 3)} \] 4. **Rearranging Equation 2**: From Equation 2: \[ ar - ar^3 = 18 \] Factoring out \( ar \): \[ ar(1 - r^2) = 18 \quad \text{(Equation 4)} \] 5. **Dividing Equation 4 by Equation 3**: Now, we can divide Equation 4 by Equation 3: \[ \frac{ar(1 - r^2)}{a(r^2 - 1)} = \frac{18}{9} \] Simplifying the right side: \[ \frac{ar(1 - r^2)}{a(r^2 - 1)} = 2 \] Since \( r^2 - 1 = -(1 - r^2) \), we have: \[ -r = 2 \quad \Rightarrow \quad r = -2 \] 6. **Finding the Value of \( a \)**: Substitute \( r = -2 \) back into Equation 3: \[ a((-2)^2 - 1) = 9 \] Simplifying: \[ a(4 - 1) = 9 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 3a = 9 \quad \Rightarrow \quad a = 3 \] 7. **Calculating the Four Terms**: Now we can find the four terms: - First term: \( a = 3 \) - Second term: \( ar = 3 \times (-2) = -6 \) - Third term: \( ar^2 = 3 \times (-2)^2 = 3 \times 4 = 12 \) - Fourth term: \( ar^3 = 3 \times (-2)^3 = 3 \times (-8) = -24 \) Thus, the four terms in the G.P. are: \[ 3, -6, 12, -24 \] ### Final Answer: The four terms in the G.P. are **3, -6, 12, -24**.
