Question:
If the 10th term of a G. P. is 9 and 4th term is 4, then its 7th term is
Answer:

Let a is the first term and r is the common ratio of the GP

Now, given 10th term = 9

=> ar10-1 = 9

=> ar9 = 9 ............1

and given 4th term = 4

=> ar4-1 = 4

=> ar3 = 4 ............2

Equation 1/equation 2, we get

     ar9 /ar3 = 9/4

=> r6 = 9/4

Again,

     ar9 = 9

=> a*(r3 )3 = 9

=> a*(4/a )3 = 9    {from equation 2}

=> a*64/a3 = 9

=> 64/a2 = 9

=> 9a2 = 64

=> a2 = 64/9

=> a = 8/3

Now, 7th term = ar6 = (8/3)*(9/4) = (8*9)/(3*4) = 2*3 = 6
