If the sum of first 6 term is $9$ times to the sum of first $3$ terms of the same $G.P.$, then the common ratio of the series will be

If $a, b, c$ and $d$ are in $G.P.$ show that:

$\left(a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}\right)\left(b^{2}+c^{2}+d^{2}\right)=(a b+b c+c d)^{2}$

A person writes a letter to four of his friends. He asks each one of them to copy the letter and mail to four different persons with instruction that they move the chain similarly. Assuming that the chain is not broken and that it costs $50$ paise to mail one letter. Find the amount spent on the postage when $8^{\text {th }}$ set of letter is mailed.

If $\frac{{x + y}}{2},\;y,\;\frac{{y + z}}{2}$ are in $H.P.$, then $x,\;y,\;z$ are in

How many terms of the $G.P.$ $3, \frac{3}{2}, \frac{3}{4}, \ldots$ are needed to give the sum $\frac{3069}{512} ?$

Let $a _1, a _2, a _3, \ldots$ be a $G.P.$ of increasing positive numbers. Let the sum of its $6^{\text {th }}$ and $8^{\text {th }}$ terms be $2$ and the product of its $3^{\text {rd }}$ and $5^{\text {th }}$ terms be $\frac{1}{9}$. Then $6\left( a _2+\right.$ $\left.a_4\right)\left(a_4+a_6\right)$ is equal to
