Answer Key : (d) -

(d)

Let  be the first term and  the common ratio of the given G.P.

Further, let there be  terms in the given G.P. Then,

   (i)

Putting this value of  in (i), we get

Putting  in (1), we get

Putting  in (1), we get

for an increasing G.P., . Now,

For decreasing G.P.,    and  . Hence, the sum of infinite terms is

For  terms are 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64. For  terms are 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2. Hence difference is 62



Next Question :

Four different integers form an increasing A.P. One of these numbers is equal to the sum of the squares of the other three numbers. Then

 

The product of all numbers is

 

a)

b)

1

c)

0

d)

2
