MCQ
The two geometric means between the numbers 1 and 64 are:
  • A
    1 and 64
  • B
    4 and 16
  • C
    2 and 16
  • D
    8 and 16.

Answer

  1. 4 and 16

Solution:

Let the two G.M.s between 1 and 64 be G1 and G2.

Thus, 1, G1, G2 and 64 are in G.P.

$64=1\times\text{r}^3$

$\Rightarrow\text{r}=\sqrt[3]{64}$

$\Rightarrow\text{r}=4$

$\Rightarrow\text{G}_1=\text{ar}=1\times4=4$

And, $\text{G}_2=\text{ar}^2=1\times4^2=16$

Thus, 4 and 16 are the required G.M.s.
