उत्तर

The sum of 3 terms of a G.P. is `21/4` and their product is 1 then the common ratio is 4.

Explanation:

Let three terms be `a/r`, a, ar

According to the given conditions,

`a/r + a + ar = 21/4`      ...(i)

and `a/r xx a xx ar = 1`

i.e., a3 = 1

∴ a = 1

∴ from equation (i), we get

`1/r + 1 + r = 21/4`

By solving this, we get r = 4
