If $$6^{th}$$ term and $$13^{th}$$ term of a geometric progression are 24 and $$\frac{3}{16}$$ respectively, then the $$25^{th}$$ term is
let the first term is a and common ratio is r then
$$T_{6}$$= {a}$$\times{r}^{5}$$ =24 equation 1
$$T_{13}$$= {a}$$\times{r}^{12}$$ =3\16 equation 2
equation 1 \equation 2
24\{3\16} = 1\r^7
128 = 1\r^7
2 = 1\r
r = 1\2
put the value of r in equation 1
a$$\times\frac{1}{2}^{5}$$ =24
so we get a= 768 so the series is
768, 384,192,96,48,24,12,6,3,3\2,3\2^2,.............. so the 25^{th} term is
$$\frac{3}{2^{16}}$$ answer
