(A) 1
(B) 2
(C) 4
(D) 8
Answer:
(C) 4
Hint:
Let three terms be \(\frac{a}{r}\), a, ar
According to the given conditions,
\(\frac{a}{r}\) + a + ar = \(\frac{21}{4}\) …..(i)
and \(\frac{a}{r}\) × a × ar = 1,
i.e., a3 = 1
∴ a = 1
∴ from equation (i), we get
\(\frac{1}{r}\) + 1 + r = \(\frac{21}{4}\)
By solving this, we get r = 4.

Question 5.
Find three numbers in G.P. such that their sum is 35 and their product is 1000.
Solution:
Let the three numbers in G.P. be \(\frac{a}{r}\), a, ar.

Question 8.
Find 2 + 22 + 222 + 2222 + … upto n terms.
Solution:
Sn = 2 + 22 + 222 +… upto n terms
= 2(1 + 11 + 111 + ….. upto n terms)
= \(\frac{2}{9}\) (9 + 99 + 999 + … upto n terms)
= \(\frac{2}{9}\) [(10 – 1) + (100 – 1) + (1000 – 1) + …… upto n terms]
= \(\frac{2}{9}\) [(10 + 100 + 1000 + … upto n terms) – (1 + 1 + 1 + ….. n times)]
Since 10, 100, 1000, ….. n terms are in G.P. with

Question 9.
Find the nth term of the sequence 0.6, 0.66, 0.666, 0.6666,…
Solution:
0.6, 0.66, 0.666, 0.6666, …
∴ t1 = 0.6
t2 = 0.66 = 0.6 + 0.06
t3 = 0.666 = 0.6 + 0.06 + 0.006
Hence, in general
