Let the missing number be x
r= x/50= 450/x
x^2 = 22500
x = 150

Answer: The missing term of the Geometric sequence can be 150.

Explanation:

Let the missing number is x,

Hence, the G.P. will,

50, x, 450

Since, the consecutive element of G.P. are in same ratio,


\implies (x)/(50)= (450)/(x)


\implies x^2 = 50* 450 = 22500


\implies x = 150

Thus, the missing term of the Geometric sequence can be 150.
