उत्तर

Let the geometric series be a common ratio.

First term = a, nth term = ar n – 1 = b

P = product of n terms

= a. ar. ar2. ar3 …. arn – 1

= `"a"^"n". "r"^ (1+ 2 + 3 + ... +("n" - 1))`

= `"a"^"n""r"^(("n"("n" - 1))/2)`

p2 = `"a"^(2"n") "r"^("n"("n" - 1))`   ..........(i)

(ab)n = `("a" xx "ar"^("n" - 1))^"n"`

= `("a"^2 xx "r"^("n" - 1))^"n"`

= `"a"^(2"n"). "r"^("n"("n" - 1))`    ..........(ii)

From equations (i) and (ii),

P2 = (ab)n
