(Q9).Write the GP. if the first term a = 3, and the common ratio r = 2.

Since ‘a’ is the first term it can easily be written

We know that in GP. every succeeding term is obtained by multiplying the preceding term with common ratio ‘r’. So to get the second term we have to multiply the first term a = by the common ratio r = .

∴ Second term = ar = × = (Q First term × common ratio)

Similarly the third term = second term × common ratio

= × =

If we proceed in this way we get the following G.P
