Let us assume the common ratio to be = x
Then
(1 * x) + (4 * x) = 50
x + 4x = 50
5x = 50
x = 50/5
   = 10
So from the above deduction, we get the common ratio to be equal to 10
Then
The smallest number = 1 * x
                                  = 1 * 10
                                  = 10

Wouldn’t it be 0, as that’s when their values are both equal to each other, making the equation true?
