प्रश्न

Which term of the G.P. :

\[\frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{9}, \frac{1}{27} . . \text { . is } \frac{1}{19683} ?\]

उत्तर

\[\text { Here, first term, }a = \frac{1}{3} \]

\[\text { and common ratio } r = \frac{1}{3}\]

\[\text { Let the } n^{th}\text {  term be } \frac{1}{19683} . \]

\[ \therefore a_n = \frac{1}{19683}\]

\[ \Rightarrow a r^{n - 1} = \frac{1}{19683}\]

\[ \Rightarrow \left( \frac{1}{3} \right) \left( \frac{1}{3} \right)^{n - 1} = \frac{1}{19683}\]

\[ \Rightarrow \left( \frac{1}{3} \right)^{n - 1} = \frac{3}{\left( 3 \right)^9} = \left( \frac{1}{3} \right)^8 \]

\[ \Rightarrow n - 1 = 8 \]

\[ \Rightarrow n = 9\]

\[\text { Thus, the } 9^{th} \text { term of the given G . P . is } \frac{1}{19683} .\]
