Mathematics: i need with this geometric progression question. just informing the methods is very appreciated!

(a) the first term of a convergent geometric progression is 3. the sum of the first five terms of the progression is twice the sum of the first ten terms. find the sum to infinity of the progression, correct to 3 decimal places. [5 marks]

(b) the salary scale of a certain employee begins at rm60 000 a year and rises to a maximum of rm78 000 by fifteen annual increments of rm1200 each. after the maximum has been reached, the annual salary remains constant. find the amount received by an employee in 20 years.
