Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:

In a G.P. if the term is p and term is q, then its term is


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


According to the question,


am+n = p.


am-n = q.


an = arn-1


am+n = a.rm+n-1


am-n = a.rm-n-1


a.rm+n-1 = p.


a.rm-n-1 = n.


Multiplying above two equations we get


a2r(m+n-1+(m-n-1) = a2r(2m-2)


a2r(2m-2) = p.q


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


arm-1 =√p.q


Mth term is given by a.rm-1


arm-1 =√p.q
