Let the first term is a and the common ratio is r

1 The value should be -56/3

a(1 + r + r^2) = 63

ar^3(1 + r + r^2) = -56/3

So, 63r^3 = -56/3

r^3 = -8/27

r = -2/3

The common ratio of the sequence is -2/3

2 a(1 + r + r^2) + ar^3(1 + r + r^2) = 28a(1 + r + r^2)

ar^3(1 + r + r^2) = 27a(1 + r + r^2)

r^3 = 27

r = 3

The common ratio of the sequence is 3
