Answer:
answer is as follow
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the Q.,
let first three terms be ar^(-1),a and ar.
So,a^3=(-1) then a=(-1)
Also sum of n terms of a g.p.
a(r^n-1)/r-1
So, (-1)(r^3-1)/r-1=13/12
=r^2-r+25/12=0
=12r^2-12r+25=0.
Now solve it to get the value of r and then find the req. G.P.
