Let the first term of the GP be a and the common ratio be r.
The sum of the first two terms of the GP is a + ar = a(1 + r).
The limiting sum of the GP is given by S = a/(1 - r) when |r| < 1.
According to the given condition, the limiting sum is twice the sum of the first two terms:
2(a + ar) = a/(1 - r)
2a + 2ar = a/(1 - r)
2a + 2ar = a(1 + r)
2 + 2r = 1 + r
r = -1
Therefore, the only possible value of the common ratio is -1.
