उत्तर

We have, 

\[ a_1 = \frac{1}{2} , a_2 = \frac{1}{3}, a_3 = \frac{2}{9}, a_4 = \frac{4}{27}\]

\[\text { Now }, \frac{a_2}{a_1} = \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{2}{3}, \frac{a_3}{a_2} = \frac{\frac{2}{9}}{\frac{1}{3}} = \frac{2}{3}, \frac{a_4}{a_3} = \frac{\frac{4}{27}}{\frac{2}{9}} = \frac{2}{3}\]

\[ \therefore \frac{a_2}{a_1} = \frac{a_3}{a_2} = \frac{a_4}{a_3} = \frac{2}{3}\]

\[\text { Thus, } a_1 , a_2 , a_3 \text { and } a_4 \text { are in G . P . , where the first term is} \frac{1}{2} \text { and the common ratio is } \frac{2}{3} .\]
