Show that the ratio of the sum of first n terms of aG.P. to the sum of terms from `(n+1)^(t h)`to `(2n)^(t h)`term is `1/(r^n)`. 9873740001

Answer» Required ratio `=S_(n) : (S_(2n)-S_(n))`.
Now, `S_(n)=(a(1-r^(n)))/((1-r)) and S_(2n)=(a(1-r^(2n)))/((1-r))=(a(1-r^(n))(1+r^(n)))/((1-r))`
`:. (S_(2n)-S_(n))=(a(1-r^(n))(1+r^(n)))/((1-r))-(a(1-r^(n)))/((1-r))=(a(1-r^(n))(1+r^(n)-1))/((1-r))=(a(1-r^(n))r^(n))/((1-r))`.
Hence, the required ratio is `1/r^(n)`.
