Solution
% Sequence a, ar, ar2, …. The sequence formed by the product of arn – 1 and the corresponding terms of A, AR, AR2, .... ARn – 1
`("Second term")/("First term")` = `(arAR)/(aA) = rR`
`("Third term")/("Second term")` = `(ar^2 AR^2)/(arAR) = rR`
Thus, the above sequence forms a G.P. and the common ratio is rR.
