Solution

The G.P. is x 3 , x 5 , x 7 ,

Let the first term and common ratio of the given G.P. be a and r respectively.

Here,

a= x 3 r= x 5 x 3 = x 2

Here, r>1

The formula for the sum of first n terms of a G.P. for r>1 is given by,

S n = a( r n 1 ) r1

Substitute the values of a and rin equation (1) to obtain the n th term.

S n = x 3 ( ( x 2 ) n 1 ) ( x 2 )1 = x 3 ( x 2n 1 ) x 2 1

Thus, the sum of n terms of the G.P. x 3 , x 5 , x 7 , is x 3 ( x 2n 1 ) x 2 1 .
