Say α is the first term of the given infinite geometric progression. The given information can be mathematically framed as :- T n = 4 ( S ∞ − S n ) , where T n , S n and S ∞ denote, respectively, the n t h term, sum of first n terms and sum of all the terms of the given infinite geometric progression. Now, T n = 4 ( S ∞ − S n ) ⟹ α ⋅ r n − 1 = 4 ( 1 − r α − 1 − r α ⋅ [ 1 − r n ] ) .
Simplifying this gives r = 5 1 . So, 1 0 ⋅ r = 2
