Insert two number between 3 and 81 so that theresulting sequence is G.P.

Answer» Let the required numbers be `G_(1)` and `G_(2)`. Then,
`3, G_(1), G_(2), 81` are in GP.
Let the common ratio of this GP be r. Then,
`T_(4)=81 rArr ar^((4-1))=81`
`rArr 3xxr^(3)=81 rArr r^(3)=27=(3)^(3) rArr r=3`.
`:. G_(1)=(3 xx r)(3xx3)=9` and `G_(2)=(3xxr^(2))=(3xx9)=27`.
Hence, the required numbers are 3 and 27.
