Find four numbers forming a geometric progression in which third term is greater than the first term by 9, and the second term is greater than the 4th by 18.
Let a be the first term and r be the common ratio of the G.P.
a1 = a, a2 = ar, a3 = ar2, a4 = ar3
By the given condition,
a3 = a1 + 9
⇒ ar2 = a + 9 … (1)
a2 = a4 + 18
⇒ ar = ar3 + 18 … (2)
From (1) and (2), we obtain
a(r2 – 1) = 9 … (3)
ar (1– r2) = 18 … (4)
Dividing (4) by (3), we obtain
Substituting the value of r in (1), we obtain
4a = a + 9
⇒ 3a = 9
∴ a = 3
Thus, the first four numbers of the G.P. are 3, 3(– 2), 3(–2)2, and 3(–2)3 i.e., 3¸–6, 12, and –24.
