As we learnt

The general term or nth term of a geometric progression is a_n=ar^{n-1}

and

Properties of a GP

If a_{1},a_{2},a_{3},---------and \, b_{1},b_{2},b_{3} are 2 GPs, then the sequence

a_{1}b_{1},a_{2}b_{2},a_{3}b_{3},--------- is also a GP

 T_n \: \: for \: \: G_1G_2= 3.5^n\times 5.3^n= 15^{n+1}

T_n \: \: for \: \: G_2= 5.3^n

Ratio= \frac{3^{n+1}.5^{n+1}}{3^{n}.5}= 3.5^n= 3.5^3= 375
