From (i) and (v), we get or or 50
But
Hence, and
Since, 5th term of G.P. term of A.P.
In an increasing geometric progression of positive terms, the sum of the second and sixth terms is and the product of the third and fifth terms is 49. Then the sum of the 4th, 6th, and 8th terms is equal to [2024]

So, and
Now,
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 [2024]

Let be the common ratio.
Now,
Now,
Let and be two distinct positive real numbers. Let the 11th term of a GP, whose first term is and third term is is equal to term of another GP, whose first term is and fifth term is Then is equal to [2024]
