Let a_1, a_2, a_3, be an A.P. and g_1 = a_1, g_2, g_3, be an...
Let be an A.P. and be an increasing G.P. If and , then is equal to:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Let the common difference of the A.P. be and the common ratio of the G.P. be .
Given and .
From , we have:
From , we have:
Substituting into the equation:
Since the G.P. is increasing and , the common ratio must be greater than . Thus, .
Then, .
We need to find :
