@ Hey Pavan,
How you can say that tree is growing by 1 feet per year? Its not specified. Its only given that the tree is growing by an equal number of feet that is it will grow by the same amount as its height at the end of year. In this example what I suppose:
Start - 3
first year - 3+3= 6
second year- 6+6 =12
Third year- 12+12 =24 and so on thus it forms a GP
3,6,12,24.......
