उत्तर

Here,

\[\text { First term }, a = \frac{- 3}{4} \]

\[\text { Common ratio, } r = \frac{a_2}{a_1} = \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{- \frac{3}{4}} = - \frac{2}{3}\]

\[ \therefore 10th \text { term }= a_{10} = a r^{(10 - 1)} = \left( \frac{- 3}{4} \right) \left( \frac{- 2}{3} \right)^9 = \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{2}{3} \right)^8 \]

\[\text { Thus, the 10th term of the given GP is } \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{2}{3} \right)^8 .\]
