53. Let the four numbers is G.P. be a, ar, ar2, ar3

Given, ar2a=9

 a(r21)=9 I

And  arar3=18

 ar(1r2)=18

 (1)ar(x21)=18

 ar(x21)=18 II

Dividing II by I we get,

ar(r21)a(r21)=189

r = 2

So, putting r = 2 in I we get ,

 a[(2)21]=9

 a[41]=9

 a*3=9

 a93

 a = 3

The four numbers are 3, 3´(-2), 3´(-2)2, 3´(-2)3

 3, 6, 12, 24

The product of corresponding terms of the given sequence are

a*A+ (ar)*AR+ (ar2)*AR2+...... (arx? 1) (ARx? 1)

aA+ (aA)+ (rR)+ (aA) ......+ (aA) (rR)x? 1

So, looking at the sequence forms a G.P.

(above the)

With common ratio =  (aA) (rR) (aA)=rR

51. The sum of product of corresponding terms of the given

Sequences =  (2*128)+ (4*32)+ (8*8)+ (16*2)+ (32*12)

= 256+128+69+32+16

The above is a G.P. of a = 256,  r=128256=12< 1 and x = 5

Sum required = 256 (1 (12)5)112

256 (1132)212

256* (32132)12=256*2*3132=496

50. The given sequence, 8, 88, 888, 8888, …., upto xterm is not a G.P. so we can such that it will be changed to a G.P. by the following .

Sum of x terms, sx = 8+ 88+888+8888 ….upto x term

8[1+11+111+1111+......] upto x term

Multiplying the numerator and denumerator by 9 we get,

89[9+99+999+9999+.........] x terms

89[(101)+(1021)+(1031)+(1041)+.....] upto x terms

89 [(10 + 1010 + 103 +104 …….upto, x terms) (1 +1 + 1 + 1 …… upto, x terms)]

89[10(10n1)1011*n]

89[10(10n1)9n]

8081(10n1)89n

49. Let aand r be the first term and common ration of the G.P.

So,  a4=x

 ar3=x - I

And a10 = y

 ar9=y - II

Also a 16 = z

ar15=z - III

So,  yx=ar9ar3=r93=r6

and zy=ar15ar9=r159=r6

? yx=zy

?  x, y, z are in G.P

48. Let a and r be the first term and common ratio.

Then,  a1+a2=4

 a+ar=4

 a(1+r)=4

 a (1+ n) = 4

 ar4=4ar2

r2 = 4

r2 =22

 r = ±2

When r =2

a (1+2)=-4

a 3 = -4

a=43

So, the G.P. is a, ar, ar2,………….  43,43*2,43(2)2...........

 43,83,163,.........

When r=2

a=(12)=4

a = (-) = -4

a = 4

So, the reqd. by G.P. is a, ar, ar2…………. 4, 4 (-2), 4 (-2)2, .

 4, 8, 16, .

47. Given, a= 729

a7=ar6=64

729. r6 = 64

 r6=64729

 r6=(23)6

 r=+23 <1

When r=23

s7=a(1r7)4r=729(1(23)7)123=729[11282187]322

729*31*[21871282187]

729*3*20592187

= 2059

When r=23

s7=a(1r7)1r=729[1(23)7]1(23)=729[1+1282187]1+23

729[2187+1282187]3+23

729*35*[23152187]

= 463

46. Let a be the first term and r be the common ratio of the G.P.

Then a1+a2+a3=16

a+ar+ar2+16

a(1+r+r2)=16 ………. I

Also a4+a5+a6=128

ar3+ar4+ar5=128

ar3(1+r+r2)=128 …… II

Dividing II and I we get,

ar3(1+r+r2)a(1+r+r2)=12816

r3= 8

r3 = 23

 r = 2 >1

So, putting r = 2 in I we get,

a(1+2+22)=16

 a(1+2+4)=16

 a(7)=16

 a=167

And sx=a(rn1)r1

 167(2n1)21

 167(2n1)

45. Given, a=3

r=333=3>1

If sn=120

Then a (rn1)r1=120

 3 (3n1)31=120

 3 (3n1)2=120

 3n1=120*23

3n= 80+1

3n= 81

= 3n = 34

r=4

So, 120 is the sum of first 4 terms of the G.P

44. Let the three terms of the G.P be ar,a,ar.

So, ara.ar=1

a3=1

a=1

And ar+a+ar=3910

1r+1+r=3910 (as a = 1)

1+r+r2r=3910

(r2+r+1)*10=39*r

10r2+10r+10=39r

10r2+10r39r+10=0

10r229r+10=0

10r225r4r+10=0

5r(2r5)2(2r5)=10

=(2x5)(5r2)=0

(2x5)=0 or (5r2)=0

r=52 or r=25

When a=1, r=52 the terms are,

 152,1, 1*52=25,1,52

When a=1, r=25 the terms are,

125, 1, 1*25=52, 1, 25
