In a G.P. the 3rd term is 8 times the 6th term and the 4th term is 4 times the 6th term.Find the common ratio of the G.P.

Explanation

Let `a` is the first term and `r` is the common ratio of the given GP.

Then, we are given,

`ar^2 = 8ar^5`

`=>r^3 = 1/8`

`r = 1/2->(1)`

Also, we are given,

`ar^3 = 4ar^5`

`=>r^2 = 1/4`
