Question Number 173178 by pete last updated on 07/Jul/22
When the terms of a Geometric Progression (G.P.)  with r=2 is added to the corresponding  terms of an arithmetic progression (A.P.),  a new sequence is formed. If the first terms  of the GP and AP are the same and the first  three termsof the new sequence are  3, 7 and 11 respectively, find the nth term  of the new sequence
