उत्तर

\[\text { Let a be the first term and r be the common ratio of the given G . P }. \]

\[ \therefore a_{4 =} 27 \text { and } a_7 = 729\]

\[ \Rightarrow a r^3 = 27 \text { and  }a r^6 = 729\]

\[ \Rightarrow \frac{a r^6}{a r^3} = \frac{729}{27}\]

\[ \Rightarrow r^3 = 3^3 \]

\[ \Rightarrow r = 3\]

\[\text { Putting } r = 3\text {  in a } r^3 = 27\]

\[a \left( 3 \right)^3 = 27 \]

\[ \Rightarrow a = 1\]

\[\text { Thus, the given G . P . is } 1, 3, 9, . . . \]
