8. Sequences and Series
easy
The $6^{th}$ term of a $G.P.$ is $32$ and its $8^{th}$ term is $128$, then the common ratio of the $G.P.$ is
A
$-1$
B
$2$
C
$4$
D
$-4$
Solution
(b) ${T_6} = 32$ and ${T_8} = 128$
$\Rightarrow a{r^5} = 32$ …..$(i)$
and $a{r^7} = 128$ …..$(ii)$
Dividing $(ii)$ by $(i),$ ${r^2} = 4$
==> $r = 2.$
