Solution
\[S = \frac{a}{\left( 1 - r \right)} . . . . . . . (i)\]
\[\text { And }, S_1 = \frac{a^2}{\left( 1 - r^2 \right)} \]
\[ \Rightarrow S_1 = \frac{a^2}{\left( 1 - r \right)\left( 1 + r \right)} . . . . . . . (ii)\]
\[\text { Now, putting the value of a in equation (ii) from equation } (i): \]
\[ S_1 = \frac{S^2 \left( 1 - r \right)^2}{\left( 1 - r \right)\left( 1 + r \right)}\]
\[ \Rightarrow S_1 = \frac{S^2 \left( 1 - r \right)}{\left( 1 + r \right)}\]
\[ \Rightarrow S_1 \left( 1 + r \right) = S^2 \left( 1 - r \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow r\left( S_1 + S^2 \right) = S^2 - S_1 \]
\[ \Rightarrow r = \frac{\left( S^2 - S_1 \right)}{\left( S_1 + S^2 \right)}\]
\[\text { Putting the value of r in equation }(i): \]
\[ \Rightarrow a = S\left( 1 - r \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow a = S\left( 1 - \frac{\left( S^2 - S_1 \right)}{\left( S_1 + S^2 \right)} \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow a = S\left( \frac{\left( S_1 + S^2 \right) - \left( S^2 - S_1 \right)}{\left( S_1 + S^2 \right)} \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow a = \frac{2 {SS}_1}{\left( S_1 + S^2 \right)}\]
