Answer:

\dfrac{6}{7}.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the sum of first two terms of an infinite GP is 6.

nth term of a GP is

a_n=ar^{n-1}

a+ar=6     ...(1)

Each term is 5 times the sum of the succeeding terms.

a_n=5(a_{n+1}+a_{n+2}+...+\infty)

ar^{n-1}=5(ar^n+ar^{n+1}+...+\infty)

ar^{n-1}=5ar^n(1+r+r^2+...+\infty)

Divide both sides by a.

r^{n-1}=5r^n(\dfrac{1}{1-r})    [\text{Sum of infinite GP}=\dfrac{a}{1-r}]

\dfrac{r^n}{r}=\dfrac{5r^n}{1-r}

\dfrac{1}{r}=\dfrac{5}{1-r}

1-r=5r

1=6r

\dfrac{1}{6}=r

The common ratio is 1/6.

Put r=1/6 in (1).

a+a(\dfrac{1}{6})=6

6a+a=36

7a=36

a=\dfrac{36}{7}

Second term ar=\dfrac{36}{7}\times \dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{6}{7}

Therefore, the second term is \dfrac{6}{7}.
