2^(8/5)*3^(1/5); 2^(27/10)*3^(2/5); 2^(19/5)*3^(3/5); 2^(49/10)*3^(4/5)

Explanation:

We will solve the Problem in RR.

Suppose that, the reqd. 4 GMs. btwn. sqrt2 and 192 are,

G_1,G_2,G_3 and G_4.

This would mean that, sqrt2,G_1,G_2,G_3,G_4,192,... are in GP.

In other words, 192 is the 6^(th) term of the GP under

reference, of which sqrt2 is the 1^(st) term.

But, in the GP : a,ar,ar^2,..., the n^(th) term t_n is given by,

t_n=a*r^(n-1), n in NN.

With a=sqrt2, n=6, t_6=192, we have

sqrt2*r^5=192 rArr r^5=192/sqrt2=(2^6*3)/2^(1/2)=2^(11/2)*3

:. r=2^(11/10)*3^(1/5)

:. G_1=ar=2^(1/2)*2^(11/10)*3^(1/5)=2^(8/5)*3^(1/5)

G_2=G_1*r=2^(8/5)*3^(1/5)*2^(11/10)*3^(1/5)=2^(27/10)*3^(2/5)

G_3=g_2*r=2^(27/10)*3^(2/5)*2^(11/10)*3^(1/5)=2^(19/5)*3^(3/5)

G_4=G_3*r=2^(19/5)*3^(3/5)*2^(11/10)*3^(1/5)=2^(49/10)*3^(4/5)
