We know that the general term of an geometric progression with first term a and common ratio r is Tn=arn−1, therefore,
T6=ar6−1⇒1729=ar5.......(1)
Substitute the value of a in equation 1 as follows:
1729=ar5⇒1729=13r5⇒r5=3729⇒r5=1243
⇒r5=1535⇒r5=(13)5⇒r=13
We also know the general term of G.P is a,ar,ar2,....., Therefore, the terms of G.P are as follows:
a=13
ar=13×13=19
ar2=13×(13)2=13×19=127 and so on.
Hence, the G.P is 13,19,127,.........
