The first two terms of a geometric progression add up to $12.$ the sum of the third and the fourth terms is $48.$ If the terms of the geometric progression are alternately positive and negative, then the first term is
If $x$ is added to each of numbers $3, 9, 21$ so that the resulting numbers may be in $G.P.$, then the value of $x$ will be
The number of bacteria in a certain culture doubles every hour. If there were $30$ bacteria present in the culture originally, how many bacteria will be present at the end of $2^{\text {nd }}$ hour, $4^{\text {th }}$ hour and $n^{\text {th }}$ hour $?$
If $a, b, c$ and $d$ are in $G.P.$ show that:
$\left(a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}\right)\left(b^{2}+c^{2}+d^{2}\right)=(a b+b c+c d)^{2}$
If in a $G.P.$ of $64$ terms, the sum of all the terms is $7$ times the sum of the odd terms of the $G.P,$ then the common ratio of the $G.P$. is equal to
