उत्तर
Let a and r be the 1st term and common ratio of the G.P. respectively.
∴ Sn = `"a"(("r"^"n" - 1)/("r" - 1))`, S2n = `"a"(("r"^(2"n") - 1)/("r" - 1))`, S3n = `"a"(("r"^(3"n") - 1)/("r" - 1))`
∴ S2n – Sn = `"a"(("r"^(2"n") - 1)/("r" - 1)) - "a"(("r"^"n"- 1)/("r" - 1))`
= `"a"/("r" - 1)("r"^(2"n") - 1 - "r"^"n" + 1)`
= `"a"/("r" - 1)("r"^(2"n") - "r"^"n")`
= `"ar"^"n"/("r" - 1)("r"^"n" - 1)`
∴ S2n – Sn = `"r"^"n"*("a"("r"^"n" - 1))/("r" - 1)` ....(i)
S3n – S2n = `"a"(("r"^(3"n") - 1)/("r" - 1)) - "a"(("r"^(2"n") - 1)/("r" - 1))`
= `"a"/("r" - 1)("r"^(3"n") - 1 - "r"^(2"n") + 1)`
= `"a"/("r" - 1)("r"^(3"n") - "r"^(2"n"))`
= `"a"/("r" - 1)*"r"^(2"n")("r"^"n" - 1)`
= `"a"*(("r"^"n" - 1)/("r" - 1))*"r"^(2"n")`
∴ Sn(S3n – S2n) = `["a"*(("r"^"n"- 1)/("r" - 1))]["a"*(("r"^"n" - 1)/("r" - 1))"r"^(2"n")]`
= `["r"^"n"*("a"("r"^"n" - 1))/("r" - 1)]^2`
∴ Sn(S3n – S2n) = (S2n – Sn)2 ...[From (i)]
