Say α \alpha is the first term of the given infinite geometric progression. The given information can be mathematically framed as :- T n = 4 ( S S n ) T_n\,=\,4(S_∞\,-\,S_n) , where T n , S n T_n, S_n and S S_∞ denote, respectively, the n t h n^{th} term, sum of first n 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 ( α 1 r α [ 1 r n ] 1 r ) T_n\,=\,4(S_∞\,-\,S_n)\ \implies \alpha \cdot r^{n-1}\,=\,4 \left(\frac{\alpha}{1-r}\,-\,\frac{\alpha \cdot [1-r^{n}]}{1-r}\right) .

Simplifying this gives r = 1 5 r\,=\,\frac{1}{5} . So, 10 r = 2 10 \cdot r \,=\, 2
