In a G.P. if the (m+n)th term is p and (m - n)th term is q, then its mth term isA. 0B. pqC. √pqD. 1/2(p+q) |

Answer» ⇒ Let the first term be a and the common ratio be r. ∴ According to the question, am+n = p. am-n = q. an = arn-1 am+n = a.rm+n-1 am-n = a.rm-n-1 ∴ a.rm+n-1 = p. a.rm-n-1 = n. Multiplying above two equations we get a2r(m+n-1+(m-n-1) = a2r(2m-2) a2r(2m-2) = p.q (ar)2(m-1) = p.q ∴ arm-1 =√p.q ⇒ Mth term is given by a.rm-1 ∴ arm-1 =√p.q |
