*Let the three terms of the AP be*
10th term = a + 9d
4th term = a + 3d
1st term = a
∴ (a + 9d), (a + 3d), and a
*If they also form a GP, then*
(a + 3d)/(a + 9d) = a/(a + 3d)
*Cross multiply*
(a + 3d)(a + 3d) = a(a + 9d)
a² + 3ad + 3ad + 9d² = a² + 9ad
a² + 6ad + 9d² = a² + 9ad
∴ a² + 6ad + 9d² - a² - 9ad = 0
∴ 9d² - 3ad = 0
∴ 3ad = 9d²
*But, we know that, a = 4*
∴ 3(4)d = 9d²
∴ 12d = 9d²
∴ 9d² - 12d = 0
∴ 3d(3d - 4) = 0
∴ 3d = 0 or 3d - 4 = 0
∴ d = 0/3 or 3d = 4
∴ d = 0, or d = 4/3
*Since common difference cannot be 0*
∴ d = 4/3
*so our three AP terms are:*
∴ (a + 9d), (a + 3d), and a
= 4 + 9(4/3) , 4 + 3(4/3) and 4
= 4 + 3(4) , 4 + 4 , and 4
= 16, 8 and 4 ,
*sure enough they also form a GP with, Common ratio, r = 1/2*
Now, a = 16
*Now, Sum of the first 6th terms of the G.P*
Sn = a[1 - rⁿ]/(1 - r)
S(6) = 16[1 - (1/2)^6]/(1 - 1/2)
S(6) = 16[1 - (1/64)]/(1/2)
S(6) = 16[(64 - 1)/64]/(1/2)
S(6) = (16 × 2)[(63)/64]
S(6) = (32)[(63)/64]
S(6) = 63/2
S(6) = 31.5
DONE !
