उत्तर
\[\text{ Let r be the common ratio of the given G . P } . \]
\[ \therefore a = 4\]
\[\text { Sum of the geometric ifinite series: } \]
\[ S_\infty = 4 + 4r + 4 r^2 + . . . \infty \]
\[\text { Now, } S_\infty = \frac{4}{1 - r} . . . . . . . \left( i \right)\]
\[\text { The difference between the third and fifth term is } \frac{32}{81} . \]
\[ a_3 - a_5 = \frac{32}{81}\]
\[ \Rightarrow 4 r^2 - 4 r^4 = \frac{32}{81}\]
\[ \Rightarrow 4\left( r^2 - r^4 \right) = \frac{32}{81}\]
\[ \Rightarrow 81 r^4 - 81 r^2 + 8 = 0 . . . . . . . \left( ii \right)\]
\[\text { Now, let } r^2 = y\]
\[\text { Let us put this in } \left( ii \right) . \]
\[ \therefore 81 r^4 - 81 r^2 + 8 = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow 81 y^2 - 81y + 8 = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow 81 y^2 - 72y - 9y + 8 = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow 9y\left( 9y - 1 \right) - 8\left( 9y - 1 \right) = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow \left( 9y - 8 \right)\left( 9y - 1 \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow y = \frac{1}{9}, \frac{8}{9}\]
\[\text { Putting y } = r^2 ,\text { we get } r = \frac{1}{3} \text { and } \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}\]
\[\text { Substituting r } = \frac{1}{3} \text { and }\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3} \text { in } \left( i \right): \]
\[ S_\infty = \frac{4}{1 - \frac{1}{3}} = \frac{12}{2} = 6\]
\[\text { Similarly }, S_\infty = \frac{4}{1 - \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}} = \frac{12}{3 - 2\sqrt{2}}\]
\[ \therefore S_\infty = 6, \frac{12}{3 - 2\sqrt{2}}\]
