The first term of a GP is 27, and its 8th term is . Find the sum of its first 10 terms.

‘Tn’ represents the nth term of a G.P. series.


Tn = arn-1








Sum of a G.P. series is represented by the formula, , when |r|<1. ‘Sn’ represents the sum of the G.P. series upto nth terms, ‘a’ represents the first term, ‘r’ represents the common ratio and ‘n’ represents the number of terms.


Here,


a = 27


r = (ratio between the n term and n-1 term)


n = 10 terms
