Let a _ 1 , a _ 2 , a _ 3 , . . . . . . . . . be a sequence of...

Let a1,a2,a3,.........{a}_{1}, {a}_{2}, {a}_{3}, . . . . . . . . . be a sequence of positive integers in arithmetic progression with common difference 22. Also, let b1,b2,b3,........{b}_{1}, {b}_{2}, {b}_{3}, . . . . . . . . be a sequence of positive integers in geometric progression with common ratio 22. If a1=b1=c{a}_{1} = {b}_{1} = c, then the number of all possible values of cc, for which the equality 2(a1+a2+........+an)=b1+b2+........+bn2\left({a}_{1} + {a}_{2} + . . . . . . . . + {a}_{n}\right) = {b}_{1} + {b}_{2} + . . . . . . . . + {b}_{n} holds for some positive integer nn, is _______

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

2\left({a}_{1} + {a}_{2} + . . . . . . . . + {a}_{n}\right) = {b}_{1} + {b}_{2} + . . . . . . . . + {b}_{n}</p><p></p><p>⇒ 2\dfrac{n}{2}\left[2{a}_{1} + \left(n - 1\right) ⋅ 2\right] = \dfrac{{b}_{1} ⋅ \left({2}^{n} - 1\right)}{2 - 1}</p><p></p><p>⇒ n\left[2c + 2n - 2\right] = c\left({2}^{n} - 1\right)</p><p></p><p>⇒ 2n\left[c + n - 1\right] = c\left({2}^{n} - 1\right)</p><p></p><p>⇒ c\left[{2}^{n} - 2n - 1\right] = 2{n}^{2} - 2n</p><p></p><p>⇒ c = \dfrac{2{n}^{2} - 2n}{{2}^{n} - 2n - 1} \ge 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . \left(i\right)</p><p></p><p>⇒ 2{n}^{2} - 2n \ge {2}^{n} - 2n - 1</p><p></p><p>⇒ 2{n}^{2} + 1 \ge {2}^{n} ⇒ n \le 6</p><p>Nowput</p><p>Now putn = 1, 2, . . . . . . , 6inequation(i)in equation \left(i\right) and using c∈I+c \in {I}^{+}, we get

c=12c = 12, when n=3n = 3

So, only one value of cc is possible.
