Find the 12th term of a G.P. whose 8th term is 192 and the common ratio is 2.
Given: 8th of the G.P. is 192 and common ratio is 2.
That is,
a8 = 192 and r = 2.
We know that in G.P an = arn-1
Here, n: number of terms
a: First term = 5/2
r: common ratio
∴ a8 = a(2)8-1 (∵ r = 2 and n = 8)
⇒ 192 = a(2)7
⇒ a × 128 = 192
Now,
∴ a12 = 3072
