If and terms of a G.P. are m and n respectively, then write its pth term.

Let the first term be a and the common ratio be r.


According to the question,


ap+q = m.


ap-q = n.


an = arn-1


ap+q = a.rp+q-1


ap-q = a.rp-q-1


a.rp+q-1 = m.


a.rp-q-1 = n.


Multiplying above two equations we get


a2r(p+q-1+(p-q-1) = a2r(2p-2)


a2r(2p-2) = m.n


(ar)2(p-1) = m.n


arp-1 =√m.n


Pth term is given by a.rp-1


arp-1 =√m.n
