It is given that the first term of G.P is
a
1
=
x
and
the second term is
a
2
=
1
, therefore,
r
=
a
2
a
1
=
1
x
We know that the formula for the
n
th term of an G.P is
T
n
=
a
r
n
−
1
, where
a
is the first term,
r
is the common ratio.
It is given that the first term is
a
=
x
, number of terms are
n
=
30
and
the common ratio is
r
=
1
x
, thus,
T

=
