(A) Let the first term be $a$ and the common ratio be $r$.In a $G.P.$,the $n^{th}$ term is given by $a_n = ar^{n-1}$.Given $a_3 = ar^2 = 24$  $(1)$.Given $a_6 = ar^5 = 192$  $(2)$.Dividing $(2)$ by $(1)$,we get $\frac{ar^5}{ar^2} = \frac{192}{24}$.$r^3 = 8$,which implies $r = 2$.Substituting $r = 2$ in $(1)$,we get $a(2)^2 = 24$,so $4a = 24$,which gives $a = 6$.The $10^{th}$ term is $a_{10} = ar^9 = 6 	imes (2)^9$.$a_{10} = 6 	imes 512 = 3072$.

In a $G.P.$,the $3^{rd}$ term is $24$ and the $6^{th}$ term is $192$. Find the $10^{th}$ term.

Divide $155$ into three parts such that the three numbers are in a Geometric Progression $(GP)$ and the first term is $120$ less than the third term.

If $\frac{a+bx}{a-bx} = \frac{b+cx}{b-cx} = \frac{c+dx}{c-dx}$ and $x \neq 0$,then show that $a, b, c,$ and $d$ are in $G.P.$

All terms of a geometric progression are positive. If each term is equal to the sum of the two terms following it,then the common ratio of this progression is:

If $\alpha, \beta$ are the roots of $x^2 - 3x + a = 0$ and $\gamma, \delta$ are the roots of $x^2 - 12x + b = 0$,and the numbers $\alpha, \beta, \gamma, \delta$ (in order) form an increasing $G.P.$,then:

If the first term of a $G.P.$ $a_1, a_2, a_3, \dots$ is unity such that $4a_2 + 5a_3$ is least,then the common ratio of the $G.P.$ is
