In a increasing geometric series, the sum of the second and the sixth term is $\frac{25}{2}$ and the product of the third and fifth term is $25 .$ Then, the sum of $4^{\text {th }}, 6^{\text {th }}$ and $8^{\text {th }}$ terms is equal to
  • A
    $30$
  • B
    $26$
  • $35$
  • D
    $32$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$35$
c
$a, ar, ar ^{2}, \ldots$

$T _{2}+ T _{6}=\frac{25}{2} \Rightarrow \operatorname{ar}\left(1+ r ^{4}\right)=\frac{25}{2}$

$a^{2} r^{2}\left(1+r^{4}\right)^{2}=\frac{625}{4}$ $....(1)$

$T _{3} \cdot T _{5}=25 \Rightarrow\left( ar ^{2}\right)\left( ar ^{4}\right)=25$

$a^{2} r^{6}=25$ $....(2)$

On dividing $(1)$ by $(2)$

$\frac{\left(1+r^{4}\right)^{2}}{r^{4}}=\frac{25}{4}$

$4 r^{8}-17 r^{4}+4=0$

$\left(4 r^{4}-1\right)\left(r^{4}-4\right)=0$

$r^{4}=\frac{1}{4}, 4 \Rightarrow r^{4}=4$

(an increasing geometric series) $a ^{2} r ^{6}=25 \Rightarrow\left( ar ^{3}\right)^{2}=25$

$T _{4}+ T _{6}+ T _{8}= ar ^{3}+ ar ^{5}+ ar ^{7}$

$=\operatorname{ar}^{3}\left(1+ r ^{2}+ r ^{4}\right)$

$=5(1+2+4)=35$

MCQ 3021 Mark
Three numbers are in an increasing geometric progression with common ratio $\mathrm{r}$. If the middle number is doubled, then the new numbers are in an arithmetic progression with common difference $\mathrm{d}$. If the fourth term of GP is $3 \mathrm{r}^{2}$, then $\mathrm{r}^{2}-\mathrm{d}$ is equal to:
  • A
    $7-7 \sqrt{3}$
  • $7+\sqrt{3}$
  • C
    $7-\sqrt{3}$
  • D
    $7+3 \sqrt{3}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$7+\sqrt{3}$
b
Let numbers be $\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{r}}, \mathrm{a}, \mathrm{ar} \rightarrow$ $G.P.$

$\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{r}}, 2 \mathrm{a}, \mathrm{ar} \rightarrow \mathrm{A} \cdot \mathrm{P} \Rightarrow 4 \mathrm{a}=\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{r}}+\mathrm{ar} \Rightarrow \mathrm{r}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{r}}=4$

$\mathrm{r}=2 \pm \sqrt{3}$

$4^{\text {th }}$ form of G.P $=3 \mathrm{r}^{2} \Rightarrow \mathrm{ar}^{2}=3 \mathrm{r}^{2} \Rightarrow \mathrm{a}=3$

$\mathrm{r}=2+\sqrt{3}, \mathrm{a}=3, \mathrm{~d}=2 \mathrm{a}-\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{r}}=3 \sqrt{3}$

$\mathrm{r}^{2}-\mathrm{d}=(2+\sqrt{3})^{2}-3 \sqrt{3}$

$=7+4 \sqrt{3}-3 \sqrt{3}$

$=7+\sqrt{3}$

$a_{1}+2 b_{1}=15....(1)$

$c_{3}=a_{3}+b_{3}=a_{1}-6+4 b_{1}=13$

$a_{1}+4 b_{1}=19....(2)$

from $(1)\, \,(2) b_{1}=2, a_{1}=11$

$\sum_{k=1}^{10} c_{k}=\sum_{k=1}^{10}\left(a_{k}+b_{k}\right)=\sum_{k=1}^{10} a_{k}+\sum_{k=1}^{10} b_{k}$

$=\frac{10}{2}(2 \times 11+9 \times(-3))+\frac{2\left(2^{10}-1\right)}{2-1}$

$=5(22-27)+2(1023)$

$=2046-25=2021$

If the arithmetic mean and geometric mean of the $p ^{\text {th }}$ and $q ^{\text {th }}$ terms of the sequence $-16,8,-4,2, \ldots$ satisfy the equation $4 x^{2}-9 x+5=0,$ then $p+q$ is equal to ..... .
  • A
    $16$
  • B
    $8$
  • $10$
  • D
    $12$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$10$
c
$4 x^{2}-9 x+5=0 \Rightarrow x=1, \frac{5}{4}$

Now given $\frac{5}{4}=\frac{ t _{ p }+ t _{ q }}{2}, t = t _{ p } t _{ q }$ where

$t _{ r }=-16\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)^{ r -1}$

so $\frac{5}{4}=-8\left[\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)^{ p -1}+\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)^{ q -1}\right]$

$1=256\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)^{ p + q -2} \Rightarrow 2^{ p + q -2}=(-1)^{ p + q -2} 2^{8}$

hence $p+q=10$

Let $\frac{1}{16}, a$ and $b$ be in $G.P.$ and $\frac{1}{ a }, \frac{1}{ b }, 6$ be in $A.P.,$ where $a , b >0$. Then $72( a + b )$ is equal to ...... .
  • A
    $12$
  • B
    $18$
  • $14$
  • D
    $21$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$14$
c
$a^{2}=\frac{b}{16} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{b}=\frac{1}{16 a^{2}}$

$\frac{2}{b}=\frac{1}{a}+6$

$\frac{1}{8 a^{2}}=\frac{1}{a}+6$

$\frac{1}{a^{2}}-\frac{8}{a}-48=0$

$\frac{1}{a}=12,-4 \Rightarrow a=\frac{1}{12},-\frac{1}{4}$

$a=\frac{1}{12}, a>0$

$b=16 a^{2}=\frac{1}{9}$

$\Rightarrow \quad 72(a+b)=6+8=14$

$S=1+\frac{2}{3}+\frac{6}{3^{2}}+\frac{10}{3^{3}}+\ldots$

$\frac{S}{3}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{2}{3^{2}}+\frac{6}{3^{3}}+\ldots$

$\frac{2 S}{3}=1+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{4}{3^{2}}+\frac{4}{3^{3}}+\ldots$

$\frac{2 S}{3}=\frac{4}{3}+\frac{4}{3^{2}}+\frac{4}{3^{3}}+\ldots$

$S=\frac{3}{2}\left(\frac{4 / 3}{1-1 / 3}\right)=3$

Now, $\ell=(3)^{\log _{0.25}\left(\frac{1 / 3}{1-1 / 3}\right)}$

$\ell=3^{\log _{(1 / 4))}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)}=3^{1 / 2}=\sqrt{3}$

Answer
Correct option: B.
$305$
b
$\mathrm{S} =\frac{7}{5}+\frac{9}{5^{2}}+\frac{13}{5^{3}}+\frac{19}{5^{4}}+\ldots$

$\frac{1}{5} \mathrm{~S} =\frac{7}{5^{2}}+\frac{9}{5^{3}}+\frac{13}{5^{4}}+\ldots$

On subtracting

$\frac{4}{5} S=\frac{7}{5}+\frac{2}{5^{2}}+\frac{4}{5^{3}}+\frac{6}{5^{4}}+\ldots$

$S=\frac{7}{4}+\frac{1}{10}\left(1+\frac{2}{5}+\frac{3}{5^{2}}+\ldots\right)$

$S=\frac{7}{4}+\frac{1}{10}\left(1-\frac{1}{5}\right)^{-2}$

$=\frac{7}{4}+\frac{1}{10} \times \frac{25}{16}=\frac{61}{32}$

$\Rightarrow 160 \mathrm{~S}=5 \times 61=305$

b
$a_{n+2}=2 a_{n+1}+a_{n}, \text { let } \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{a_{n}}{8^{n}}=P$

Divide by $8^{\mathrm{n}}$ we get

$\frac{a_{n+2}}{8^{n}}=\frac{2 a_{n+1}}{8^{n}}+\frac{a_{n}}{8^{n}}$

$\Rightarrow 64 \frac{a_{n+2}}{8^{n+2}}=\frac{16 a_{n+1}}{8^{n+1}}+\frac{a_{n}}{8^{n}}$

$64 \sum_{n-1}^{\infty} \frac{a_{n+2}}{8^{n+2}}=16 \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{a_{n+1}}{8^{n+1}}+\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{a_{n}}{8^{n}}$

$64\left(P-\frac{a_{1}}{8}-\frac{a_{2}}{8^{2}}\right)=16\left(P-\frac{a_{1}}{8}\right)+P$

$\Rightarrow 64\left(P-\frac{1}{8}-\frac{1}{64}\right)=16\left(P-\frac{1}{8}\right)+P$

$64 P-8-1=16 P-2+P$

$47 P=7$

The sum $\sum_{n=4}^{\infty}\left(\frac{2 S_{n}}{n !}-\frac{1}{(n-2) !}\right)$ is equal to :

  • $\frac{\mathrm{e}-1}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{e-2}{6}$
  • C
    $\frac{\mathrm{e}}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{\mathrm{e}}{6}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{\mathrm{e}-1}{3}$
a
Let $T_{r}=r(n-r)$

$T_{r}=n r-r^{2}$

$\Rightarrow S_{n}=\sum_{r=1}^{n} T_{r}=\sum_{r=1}^{n}\left(n r-r^{2}\right)$

$S_{n}=\frac{n \cdot(n)(n+1)}{2}-\frac{n(n+1)(2 n+1)}{6}$

$\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}-1)(\mathrm{n}+1)}{6}$

Now $\sum_{r=4}^{\infty}\left(\frac{2 S_{n}}{n !}-\frac{1}{(n-2) !}\right)$

$=\sum_{r=4}^{\infty}\left(2 \cdot \frac{n(n-1)(n+1)}{6 . n(n-1)(n-2) !}-\frac{1}{(n-2) !}\right)$

$=\sum_{r=4}^{\infty}\left(\frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{n-2+3}{(n-2) !}\right)-\frac{1}{(n-2) !}\right)$

$=\sum_{r=4}^{\infty} \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{(n-3) !}=\frac{1}{3}(e-1)$

$\left(c^{2} p^{2}+2 c d p+d^{2}\right)=0$

$\Rightarrow(a b+b)^{2}+(b p+c)^{2}+(c p+d)^{2}=0$

This is possible only when $a p+b=0$ and $b p+c=0$ and $c p+d=0$

$p =-\frac{ b }{ a }=-\frac{ c }{ b }=-\frac{ d }{ c }$

or $\frac{ b }{ a }=\frac{ c }{ b }=\frac{ d }{ c }$

$\therefore a , b , c , d$ are in $G . P$

If the sum of the second, third and fourth terms of a positive term $G.P.$ is $3$ and the sum of its sixth, seventh and eighth terms is $243,$ then the sum of the first $50$ terms of this $G.P.$ is
  • A
    $\frac{2}{13}\left(3^{50}-1\right)$
  • $\frac{1}{26}\left(3^{50}-1\right)$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{13}\left(3^{50}-1\right)$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{26}\left(3^{49}-1\right)$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{1}{26}\left(3^{50}-1\right)$
b
Let first term $=a>0$

Common ratio $=r>0$

$ar + ar ^{2}+ ar ^{3}=3$

$ar ^{5}+ ar ^{6}+ ar ^{7}=243$

$r^{4}\left(a r+a r^{2}+a r^{3}\right)=243$

$r^{4}(3)=243 \Rightarrow r=3$ as $r>0$

from (1)

$3 a+9 a+27 a=3$

$a=\frac{1}{13}$

$S_{50}=\frac{a\left(r^{50}-1\right)}{(r-1)}=\frac{1}{26}\left(3^{50}-1\right)$

Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be the roots of $x^{2}-3 x+p=0$ and $\gamma$ and $\delta$ be the roots of $x^{2}-6 x+q=0 .$ If $\alpha$ $\beta, \gamma, \delta$ form a geometric progression. Then ratio $(2 q+p):(2 q-p)$ is 
  • A
    $3: 1$
  • B
    $33: 31$
  • $9: 7$
  • D
    $5: 3$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$9: 7$
c
$x^{2}-3 x+p=0<\beta$

$\alpha, \beta, \gamma, \delta$ in G.P.

$\alpha+\alpha r=3 \ldots .(1)$

$x^{2}-6 x+q=0<\frac{\gamma}{\delta}$

$\alpha r^{2}+\alpha r^{3}=6 \quad \ldots(2)$

$(2) \div(1)$

$r^{2}=2$

So, $\frac{2 q+p}{2 q-p}=\frac{2 r^{5}+r}{2 r^{5}-r}=\frac{2 r^{4}+1}{2 r^{4}-1}=\frac{9}{7}$

    $300$
  • $150$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$150$
d
$\sum_{n=1}^{100} a_{2 n+1}=200 \Rightarrow a_{3}+a_{5}+a_{7}+\ldots .+a_{201}=200$

$\Rightarrow \operatorname{ar}^{2} \frac{\left(\mathrm{r}^{200}-1\right)}{\left(\mathrm{r}^{2}-1\right)}=200$

$\sum_{n=1}^{100} a_{2 n}=100 \Rightarrow a_{2}+a_{4}+a_{6}+\ldots+a_{200}=100$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\operatorname{ar}\left(\mathrm{r}^{200}-1\right)}{\left(\mathrm{r}^{2}-1\right)}=100$

On dividing $\mathrm{r}=2$

on adding $a_{2}+a_{3}+a_{4}+a_{5}+\ldots+a_{200}+a_{201}=300$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{r}\left(\mathrm{a}_{1}+\mathrm{a}_{2}+\mathrm{a}_{3}+\ldots .+\mathrm{a}_{200}\right)=300$

$\Rightarrow \sum_{n=1}^{200} a_{n}=150$
