Class 11 Geometric Progression Review

The document provides 10 problems related to geometric progressions. The problems cover topics like finding terms of a GP given information like the AM and GM, finding the common ratio or first term given other terms or properties of the GP, calculating sums of finite and infinite GPs, and modeling spending increases through a subsidy program.
