उत्तर
Let the number be `a/r`, a and ar.
`=> a/r xx a xx ar = 1`
`=>` a3 = 1
`=>` a = 1
Now, `a/r + a + ar = 39/10`
`=> 1/r + 1 + r = 39/10`
`=> (1 + r + r^2)/r = 39/10`
`=>` 10 + 10r + 10r2 = 39r
`=>` 10r2 – 29r + 10 = 0
`=>` 10r2 – 25r – 4r + 10 = 0
`=>` 5r(2r – 5) – 2(2r – 5) = 0
`=>` (2r – 5)(5r – 2) = 0
`=> r = 5/2` or `r = 2/5`
Thus, required terms are :
`a/r, a, ar = 1/(5/2), 1, 1 xx 5/2` or `1/(2/5), 1, 1 xx 2/5`
= `2/5, 1, 5/2` or `5/2, 1, 2/5`
