Vedclass · Answer

Let the series $a, a r, a r^{2}, \ldots \ldots \ldots$ are in geometric progression

given, $a=a r+a r^{2}$

$\Rightarrow 1=r+r^{2}$

$\Rightarrow r^{2}+r-1=0$

$\Rightarrow r=\frac{-1+\sqrt{1-4 	imes-1}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow r=\frac{-1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow r=\frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{2}$
