Question

The third term of a G.P. is 4, the product of the first five terms is ______.

Fill in the Blanks

Solution

The third term of a G.P. is 4, the product of the first five terms is (4)5.

Explanation:

Given T3 = 4

∴ ar2 = 4  .....(i)

Product of first five terms = a · ar · ar2 · ar3 · ar4

= a5r10

= (ar2)5

= (4)5   ......[From equation (i)]
