Let be the common ratio and the common difference. The conditions give
Substituting in the second equation and dividing by gives
Positive terms imply . The value would give and all terms equal. Hence and . The required sum is .

Let and be the common ratio and common difference. Then and . Squaring the first equation and using the second gives
If , then . Since all terms are positive, , making all terms equal, contrary to the condition. Hence and
