Which term of the G.P. :

उत्तर
\[\text { Here, first term, } a = \sqrt{2} \]
\[\text { and common ratio, }r = \frac{1}{2}\]
\[\text { Let the } n^{th} \text { term be } \frac{1}{512\sqrt{2}} . \]
\[ \therefore a_{n =} \frac{1}{512\sqrt{2}}\]
\[ \Rightarrow a r^{n - 1} = \frac{1}{512\sqrt{2}}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \left( \sqrt{2} \right) \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{n - 1} = \frac{1}{512\sqrt{2}}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{n - 1} = \frac{1}{1024}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{n - 1} = \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{10} \]
\[ \Rightarrow n - 1 = 10 \]
\[ \Rightarrow n = 11\]
\[\text { Thus, the } {11}^{th} \text { term of the given G . P . is } \frac{1}{512\sqrt{2}} .\]
