उत्तर
− \[\frac{2}{5}\] If the first term is 1, then, the G.P. will be\[1, r, r^2 , r^3 , . . .\]
\[\text{ Now }, 5 r^2 + 4r = 5\left( r^2 + \frac{4}{5}r \right)\]
\[ = 5\left( r^2 + \frac{4}{5}r + \frac{4}{25} - \frac{4}{25} \right)\]
\[ = 5 \left( r + \frac{2}{5} \right)^2 - \frac{4}{5}\]
\[\text{ This will be the least when } r + \frac{2}{5} = 0, i . e . r = - \frac{2}{5} .\]
