Find the 12th term of a G.P. whose 8th term is 192 and the common ratio is 2.

Solution

Let the first term of the geometric progression = a

Common ratio = 2

12th term =  a × 212−1 = 211 a

8th term = a × 28−1 = a × 27 = 128a

Given: 8th term = 192

∴ 128a = 192

or a = `192/128 = 3/2`

∴ 12th term = `1^11 xx 3/2`

= `2^10 xx 3`

= 1024 × 3

= 3072
